Data brokers know a lot about us. They silently harvest any information they can find, by purchasing information, using trackers, scraping social media, ingesting data breaches.
They compile this information into databases, and sell access so that others can sift through the most private and sensitive areas of our lives. 

In this video we pull back the curtain on a largest player in this industry - LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and talk about their giant contracts to sell data to governments.

Data brokers are like invisible digital packrats, silently harvesting every piece of data about us that they can find. But the information provided by data brokers isn’t always correct.

If we enable powerful entities like governments or corporations to see completely into our lives, we shift the balance of power too far away from the individual, and could lead society to a dark place. Thankfully, we are empowered individuals, and can make changes in our own lives to protect our privacy, starting today.
