Why Data Brokers?

Data Brokers

are companies which collect personal data from various sources and then license this data to other organizations, typically without the knowledge or consent of the individuals involved.

They

are a key enabler of the growing loss of privacy, rampant surveillance capitalism, micro-targeting and misinformation and the addictive nature of digital experiences.
