Home Addresses Are Up for Sale. Time to Take Back Your Privacy.; The New York Times, December 16, 2018

The Editorial Board, The New York Times;Home Addresses Are Up for Sale. Time to Take Back Your Privacy.

"There are laws around the dissemination of personal information like home addresses, but they’re stuck in the era of phone booths and yellow pages. Home address privacy is governed mainly by 1990s legislation like the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (regarding the collection and release of information gathered by states to issue licenses for driving) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (which partly regulates how banks handle personal information). It’s time for legislators — at both the federal and state levels — to update protections for home addresses and to allow regulators to rein in the personal data industry."
