DO NOT LEGITIMIZE
THE STEALING OF OUR INFORMATION!!!
Congress and the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) are attempting to make to process of stealing our information and monitoring our activity legal. Those that are politicians know the power of the data brokers. They use them every time they run for office. The entire practice should be made illegal. Tell your legislator to say NO to regulate the industry. Our information is our property and should not be sold to anyone.

Data brokers are just the symptom of an increasing problem of companies that monitor and sell our information. Every day we are under surveillance by corporations that exist all over the planet. There are currently devices in your own home that not only capture and categorize your data but your activities and your information is up for sale.
The activity of selling information is not new. The true problem exists at the collection side of the equation. The companies that monitor us are the real problem. They are attempting to be in every facet of our existence. Lets work together and stop the data collection madness.
