The Guardian reports a lawsuit involving data broker X-Mode and one of its customers over location data gives a rare glimpse into the industry. X-Mode says it prohibits the resale of location data in unaggregated form, claiming NybSys violated those conditions. X-Mode said it is the second time a company resold unaggregated data without permission. Fight for the Future Director Evan Greer said a U.S. data privacy law is “desperately” needed “that outlaws this type of surveillance profiteering.”
