I'm sick investigating on privacy violations. Even after many years of research on the companies making money with illegally obtained data such as SafeGraph, I am not used to the violence enabled by such business. I spend weeks, months, usually for free, documenting the links between these companies and governments, law enforcement, etc. Few of my researches were published (The Markup, WST, etc.) but today I feel alone and powerless.
I am angry. These companies and their CEO deserve bankruptcy and prison.
Special note to the people constantly telling me that fighting for privacy has nothing to do with fighting against gender-based violence: go f*** yourself.

What it looks like to investigate on companies selling data.
(Yes, it is Maltego)
⁂ @U039b Impressive !
That's pretty terrible.
John Oliver made a stab at taking action by trying to blackmail the US congress into passing stricter privacy laws.
