I guess ANYTHING for a buck, right??  You know--that UNFETTERED capitalist bullshit!  God HIV, CANCER, spinafida, M and want privacy???  If someone has 7.9 cents, they can buy your name....


A privacy advocate on Wednesday told Congress that she had discovered that it was common practice for data brokers to sell the names of rape victims and HIV patients for about 7.9 cents each.Speaking to members of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, World Privacy Forum Executive Director Pam Dixon described herself as a "moderate" when it came to data brokers, but shocking research convinced her that the industry was in need of regulation.

"The data broker industry as it is today, does not have constraints and it does not have shame," she explained. "It will sell any information about any person regardless of sensitivity for 7.9 cents a name, which is the price of a list of rape sufferers which was recently sold."

"Lists of rape sufferers, victims of domestic violence, police officers' home addresses, people who suffer from genetic illnesses," Dixon continued. "Complete with names, home addresses, ethnicity, gender and many other factors. This is what's being sold and circulated today
