Vermont passes first law to crack down on data brokers
I’m still not understanding the controversy and kickback around these regulations. The hysteria around GDPR has been silly.<p>My home country has a Privacy Act, it’s terribly weak and has little enforcement but the principals in it were drilled into me from the very start of my career. Customer data is really important. It must be kept private and not shared. And we should only have what we need to have for whatever we’re doing for them. I don’t know why those principals are so hard for people to swallow. Now in the states when I hear mobile carriers are selling my location data without my consent, and so on, I get completely irate. It boggles my mind why people think that kind of behavior should be allowed.
