    Without legislation forcing it, why would they bother? They already have enough separation from the crimes to avoid legal repercussions, and they get to sell data with the “this will be used for profitable criminal activity” premium baked into the original sale price.

    It’s like expecting Nestle to take any steroids action (weird auto-correct) to prevent child slavery. Why are they going to stir the pot and screw up the nice thing they have going?

      Slight tangent, but autocorrect seems to have gotten terrible the last year or so.

Instead of improving the dataset, it’s pulling it in so many different directions that it doesn’t know which way is up anymore
