Naomi Brockwell makes it easy and interesting to learn about how our personal lives are being spied on by potentially anybody. Share it with your friends and family so maybe one day every country won't have a social credit score or other dystopian outcomes.

Very well put together video about how data brokers exploit our data and are used by governments, private investigators and officers to skirt around legal processes.

The video also briefly discusses an individual who searched one broker's database for themselves in 2014, and it practically pulled up data about their entire life and history, despite them not being terminally online... would rather not imagine what things are like now
