Data broker was used by shooter in Minnesota to get information about victims

[sem@lemmy.ml]

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

Some people still laugh when I say that online Privacy is synonym of Security.

At least now we can be confident that a law will be passed making it illegal to sell the home addresses of members of Congress. The rest of us will still be on our own.

This and surveillance pricing are good arguments against the nothing-to-hide-nothing-to-fear crowd, the next time you get into a debate with one.
