I’m not even shocked - as long as we allow data brokers to to collect massive amounts of data about people, this parctice won’t change. But the worst thing about it is that we hardly can escape this data collection as long as we use the world wide web.

In my opinion it is wrong that governments are allowed to buy this data - but in my opinion instead trying to make it illegal for governments to buy this data, we should rather try to put a stop to data brokers so that this data is not collected in the first place.
