The Federal Trade Commission told a data company it could no longer sell data it collected from hundreds of millions of Americans’ mobile devices when people visited hospitals, dialysis clinics, or abortion clinics. But little is stopping other companies from doing so. In the absence of federal protections, some states are passing their own rules.

If you're storing appointments on your electronic calendar like Google's, they know too. Calendars are a wealth of private information: when is your home empty, what kind of vacations do you take, what conditions are you being treated for, etc.

All these billionaires really missing out on the chance to be an actual Santa Clause.

They have practically endless 'money', and they already see you when you're sleeping, and know when you're awake.
