AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The FTC is litigating Kochava a tracking agency/ broker . Kochava claims to have data on billions of devices and sells that data to individuals and companies, or anyone who pays for our private data. It’s abusive and requires regulation. The FTC was particularly interested in making our visits to healthcare facilities and Drs private. However, when polled the abuse of our private data is happening on a daily basis and should be curtailed. Even when platforms say they’re deleting your profile, they may not be deleting all the information they’ve collected. There are sub programs made of our movements, allowing Corporations to predict what we’ll purchase, how we’ll respond on loan applications, or on interviews. These predictions, an outcropping of our personal daily lives, have the ability to destroy our credit and our livelihood. Why should a private corporation have power over our lives? The FTC is right to litigate Kochava and develop rules to safeguard our privacy. Millions of lives are at risk. Violent acts can be committed against people, when our data is sold to the highest bidder.
