Granted, all my shit is blocked and what not, to the best I can do. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoJust ballpark, how many companies do you think there are in the USA?
minus-squareumululink2•edit-21 year agoNot from USA, but I want to have a go at that question. I would say, around 2,000,000 companies?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoThat’s about what I would have guessed. And I’d say it answers the question. About 100 companies are collecting tons of data, then selling it to 10,000 more companies.
