Not ironic, unfortunate reality. I'm annoyed npr and 474 use personal data for profit. It should be illegal. I'm terrified the government uses personal data without checks on the use case. Especially since it is illegal, and they just don't care about that. Or there's a loophole, or whatever, and they just don't care how The People will react to them using it, which is just as terrifying.
Whoops, I assumed it was a proper noun the way I read it. Like a company that does data collection or something. Whatever, I'm not gonna bother to look at it again, I'm quitting the internet.
