    Cool; another data broker no one’s ever heard of lost a bunch of personal data that no one ever wanted them to have in the first place.

    Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you’re probably not going to get much money out of it.

      It would also be kind of nice for everyone to see what these people had on them and maybe how they got it.

      Seriously! The easiest way to defeat them is to remove the value they seek. And what better way to remove the value of a good in Capitalism than to start giving it away for free?

      Who cares if it’s messy or embarrassing? That sounds like 60% of my day as a biological entity.

    In December, the FTC announced sweeping action against Gravy and Venntel, saying in a proposed order they will be banned from selling, disclosing, or using sensitive location data, except in “limited circumstances” involving national security or law enforcement. The FTC also demanded the companies delete all historic location data. The agency alleged that Gravy and Venntel violated the FTC Act by “unfairly selling sensitive consumer location data, and by collecting and using consumers’ location data without obtaining verifiable user consent for commercial and government uses.”

    Ah. Meeeeemoriiieeeeees.
