Your contention is that Little League would be more expensive if they weren't allowed to sell your financial records?


I think this position is being applied somewhat universally with no supporting data.


Paid social networks have failed to gain traction because most people don't want to pay $10 a year.

People will give up their shopping privacy for extra discounts the the super market.

People buy cheap TVs that send data on what they watch which is then sold.

Plenty of examples.

Is there an option where I get to pay $10 a year in already popular social networks and they guaranteed my privacy? Maybe then we could start demanding better quality.

> People will give up their shopping privacy for extra discounts the the super market.

Some will. Even then, they might buy some things in cash. They get to choose.

> People buy cheap TVs that send data on what they watch which is then sold.

I was not aware of that, is it informed in the tv packaging in a way a grandma can understand it?
