    A ban wouldn’t work, because data collection is endemic. The cat is out of the bag.

    Compensation could work through legislation and a commercial structure that dictates how things should be bought and sold. In Germany, rent is decided by the local town hall (Rathaus) on a per square metre basis. Such a system is not without flaws, but it’s better than unfettered abuse by those who have against those who have not.

      I don’t know where you have your ideas about Getman rent from but I assure you that, barring some rent-control, the German rental market is free.
