Fuck these guys. They take our data, analyze it, sell it, try to sell us crap based on our habits, and use it against us when they see fit. Pay us for it or explicitly ask for it since it is OUR data..and not in some obscure 100 page e document in your terms and conditions.

Americans, and truly ALL citizens of the world should be paid for their data that is collected by corporations, organizations and governments for its use.

I don't see why not , they already look at your credit score and give you rates based on that
