Gravy Analytics, the parent of Venntel, collects sensitive U.S. cellphone data, selling access to it often without consumer consent, raising significant privacy concerns.
The FTC's lawsuit against Gravy Analytics highlights the growing trend of data brokers selling sensitive information to the U.S. government, circumventing the need for warrants.
Hackers recently compromised Gravy Analytics, obtaining 17 terabytes of sensitive consumer location data, exposing privacy vulnerabilities in data broker practices.
As the FTC faces defunding under political pressure, the effectiveness of regulatory bodies in protecting consumer privacy is being severely undermined, which is troubling.
