As your data gets passed around between countless third parties, there aren’t just more companies profiting from your data, but also more possibilities for your data to be leaked or breached in a way that causes real harm. Consumer data privacy laws can give individuals rights to control their data, but if poorly implemented such laws could also maintain the status quo.”
