@gbsills@social.vivaldi.net @pluralistic@mamot.fr Slave traders used to make all their money from trading slaves. We banned it. Opium peddlers used to make all their money by getting people addicted to opium. We banned it.
Of course, people still sell slaves and people still sell opium -- but not nearly so many. These bans at least partly work. The same could happen to data broking.
