If you have read here at the Medical Quack then you know about my 2 year old campaign to at least identify who they are, we have no clue other than the obvious. I have written to the FTC until I am 
blue in the face about this and yet it seems that there’s a real lack of understanding there on how this works. Everyone works on the “legal verbiage” but the code runs hog ass wild out there. What action that has come from the FTC has been totally useless. They don’t get how deep this goes.
FTC Tries to Bring Strong Case for Consumer Protections With Use of Data–But Nothing About Creating IT Infrastructure Path to Allow Regulation–Gov Can’t or Won’t Model?
The big company, Axiom denied the opportunity for an interview wit 60 Minutes. If you read the link below on what happened in the UK, they had everything on these people that someone at Barclays sold out.

Consumers don’t know who tracks…why we need to license. Senator Rockefeller can’t do anything to regulate until we have the index for all to buy a license. We regulate drivers this way, doctors, stock brokers, real estate brokers & sellers, you name it. The one broker tries to stick up for himself but his case is not strong at all, there’s no self regulation.
ALL NEED TO PURCHASE A LICENSE AND PAY EXCISE TAXES ON HUGE PROFITS MADE AS WELL AS HAVING A WEBSITE TO WHERE CONSUMERS CAN LOOK UP WHO SELLS WHAT KIND OF DAT AND TO WHO.
Below is the 60 Minutes Overtime video. BD
The following script is from "The Data Brokers" which aired on March 9, 2014. Steve Kroft is the correspondent. Graham Messick and Maria Gavrilovic, producers.
Over the past six months or so, a huge amount of attention has been paid to government snooping, and the bulk collection and storage of vast amounts of raw data in the name of national security. What most of you don't know, or are just beginning to realize, is that a much greater and more immediate threat to your privacy is coming from thousands of companies you've probably never heard of, in the name of commerce.
They're called data brokers, and they are collecting, analyzing and packaging some
of our most sensitive personal information and selling it as a commodity...to each other, to advertisers, even the government, often without our direct knowledge. Much of this is the kind of harmless consumer marketing that's been going on for decades. What's changed is the volume and nature of the data being mined from the Internet and our mobile devices, and the growth of a multibillion dollar industry that operates in the shadows with virtually no oversight.
Companies and marketing firms have been gathering information about customers and potential customers for years, collecting their names and addresses, tracking credit card purchases, and asking them to fill out questionnaires, so they can offer discounts and send catalogues. But today we are giving up more and more private information online without knowing that it's being harvested and personalized and sold to lots of different people...our likes and dislikes, our closest friends, our bad habits, even your daily movements, both on and offline. Federal Trade Commissioner Julie Brill says we have lost control of our most personal information.
Steve Kroft: What about medications?
Tim Sparapani: Certainly. You can buy from any number of data brokers, by malady, the lists of individuals in America who are afflicted with a particular disease or condition.
