If I need a hotel and the place I'm booking decides to change me more than they would have otherwise because they're mistaken about my finances, I'm still getting charged more. None of that comes to light.

When a store tells me that their return policy is "next day only, with receipt" but they tell the next person in line it's "30 days no questions asked" all because their "consumer reputation service" told them I was unreliable when I'm not, I'm still stuck with their shitty return policy for "bad" customers. None of that will ever come to light.

When my health insurance company jacks up my premiums because a data broker told them that I've been spending more time at fast food restaurants, I'm never told that's what happened, I just get a bigger bill. Nothing ever comes to light.

When the police arrest me and question me because of my search history, maybe the truth comes to light, but not without significant costs to me.

Most of the time when people use the data that's been collected about you as a result of surveillance capitalism you have no idea that it even happened or why. You're just charged more money than you would have been, or you aren't offered opportunities you would have been given, or you're just rejected for something you wanted, etc. Nobody tells you why. There's not an investigation into how it happened. There is no transparency and there is zero accountability for errors.

> It will make the data broker look bad when the prosecutor finds out that they fabricated my abortion.

When have you ever heard of a data broker taking a huge hit to their reputation because they have inaccurate data? It doesn't happen. What data broker has a great reputation in the first place? Everyone using data brokers knows that the data is not 100% reliable. It doesn't matter. It's usually just a numbers game. Even when it's only for an advertisement, they know that not everyone they're targeting is going to buy something. That doesn't matter to them as long as some percentage does.
