Did you read the article or watch his show? If you did, you don't seem to understand what data brokers do.

By not doing any online transactions they can't track my purchases, with me using DuckDuckGo they can't track my searches, when I read an article I do not accept cookies. I'd rather not finish reading the article. Therefore any data broker would have a very hard time tracking anything I do. Do I have a online signature yeah, cuz I'm alive. So how dare you say I don't know what a data broker is. After I realized you were the one that authored this article, I regretted it. Notice how you don't have any followers. I have a feeling you really alienated a lot of people on this site. Have the day you deserve! SFC Kelly Fuerhoff
