Tim Cook (Apple) is recommending a Data Broker Registry.
What’s a data broker? they buy and sell data from third parties
So how would it work?
- every consumer can opt into their data being collected or not
- consumers would be able to remove their data from the registry
- the FTC would house the registry and consumers could see what info is being collected and by whom
Why does this sound familiar? Because in 2018 informed:intel told you about the first in the nation data broker state law in VT, and we gave you the bill text to create one in your state
