The domestic billionaires that own the government love data collection, what they don't like is competition.

Oh good, a mild fine worth 1% of the profits 10 years after finding out about it and fighting it in court.

Databrokers, adverts collecting data for sale, blatant stealing of info, using AI to sell and collect data about a person… yeah how about we kill off an entire industry that exists to only exploit others and sell people MORE SHIT.

I really hate this timeline
