White House scraps plan to block data brokers from selling Americans' sensitive data | TechCrunch

Well of course. Data brokers pay some bribes and their problems go away

Not surprising. Just like his first term. Selling out the country. MAGA faithful never even hears about it. Too glued to Fox News and right wing radio.

The decision by CFPB to cancel the rule comes days after the Financial Technology Association, an industry lobby group representing non-bank fintech companies, wrote to Vought in his capacity as the White House’s budget director. The lobby group asked the administration to withdraw the CFPB’s rule, claiming it would be “harmful to financial institutions’ efforts to detect and prevent fraud.”

Sure. The only way to detect and prevent fraud is to make it easy for the fraud to happen in the first place.

This is why every other american thinks I'm paranoid when I use only FOSS software and a VPN. "Well you can't prevent everything and some of then have data on you already" SHUT UP THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU VOTED FOR THIS.
