    > The adtech industry’s leading trade groups also expressed concern — partly out of fear that a public backlash could lead to regulations that threaten their business. They’re proposing rules that would allow companies to continue sharing data for business and marketing purposes, but restrict that information from being sold to law enforcement.

    Cue "gifts" to law-enforcement which, ever so strangely will occur close to positive "consideration" for regulatory changes or mergers or dropped lawsuits.

    If the information is too usefully-dangerous to sell to a government that has lost basic ethics, then it's too dangerous to have because the same government will find unethical ways to pressure you.
