As much as this is in the news, it still persists and people don’t like it, especially when it’s flawed and it really represents some sloppy data work, all to make a buck. The FTC has again asked for help from Congress. The TV station went knocking door to door and people were not happy. One State lawmaker Georgia says this could be attacked with both state and Federal levels. The FTC is somewhat stuck unless Congress

Again I have my campaign to index and license all data sellers. Most consumers don’t even know data brokers exist. For 3 years I have been bugging the FTC and members of Congress to get on this and there’s more videos at the campaign. Help me out if you can as it’s been a hobby and I would really like to see a law that has some teeth for transparency. What I am suggesting doesn’t stop data selling but with consumers being able to see who’s selling what kind of data and who the customer types are, it would really help.

ATLANTA -- Medical information is something most of us expect to be kept confidential. But believe it or not, some of your medical history may be available for purchase online.
Data brokers collect and sell consumer information, including medical conditions.
The 11Alive investigators bought a sample of that data to show that anyone can get their hands on this data for a price.
