Its even the (R) scum in Tallahassee doing this to me.
I don’t worry about private individuals nearly as much as government agencies.
They’ve been doing this for over 30 years.
This is the Facebook Is Evil ping list.

Facefart is among the worst when it comes to selling you personal data. It's made Zuckerberg a billionaire. Fight back by ceasing to use FB. Doesn't do you any good to delete your info. They say it's been deleted but it's not.
Just stop giving your info to FB. Just quit. Log out and be done with it.
My wife filed for an assumed name at the county court house and now she gets spam calls from everywhere imaginable.
BASTARDS!
Don’t tell me money is involved!
Have you noticed that these bills do the exact opposite of what they are called?
Note, even after the cash influx, they still want to raise taxes.
We need a Constitutional amendment removing the cruel and unusual punishment protection from government officials, hired and elected.
DMV sells to supermarkets too. I read this over a decade ago in what was called a newspaper (barely exist now). They want to know who and where their customers are coming from. Now they use your bank and credit cards.
without applicants knowing
What cave has this writer been living in? Consistently for 75+ years, insurance companies, credit reporting companies such as equifax (x Retail Credit), Car sales agencies, you name it, have been openly buying this information and 99% of drivers and people with and IQ above room temperature have known it.
I remember in the 1950s one of my teachers railing against it. I remember pastors telling jokes involving it repeatedly.
My first job after Vietnam was heavy on MVRs Motor Vehicle Records.
Same reason you sell anything...MONEY!
It’s obvious, it’s for the money.
In 1990 I moved to where I am now and changed my driver’s license to reflect it. It wasn’t a month and I was getting junk mail to that specific address. They have been selling it for years. Now they want you to list your phone number. Why? They have never ever called with a question. No, it’s worth more money. I list my old disconnected one.
A “right” to privacy? A “right” to vote? It all sounds fine and dandy, but in truth these are privileges, not rights, strictly speaking. Thanks to decades of public schools and the “right” to an education, “strictly speaking” has become a thing of the pabst. How gay is that?
And this is why I get those car warranty spam calls. I first found it alarming that someone knew what car I had.

Yep - I thought it might be my dealer when I started getting ads to buy protection for my new car...but a lot of them called it a “Mercury” instead of “Mercedes”...on my registration card it is abbreviated as “Merc”...
BUMP!
