Nice idea but you won’t have heard of any of these data brokers anyways – same as the parent companies that own “bad karma” brands. Its a buffer zone thing, corporations learned to do long ago to protect the public facing brand that represents the real players beneath. So yeah have a list, and you will be none the wiser on which shareholders and individuals are spying on you.
Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, Spotify and Yandex. So don’t expect it just to be political manipulators to be profiting from your data or manipulating your world view…
On the site’s privacy options page it could have 3 checkboxes so they can choose which “type” of data they are happy for paying customers to use for advertising etc.
Maybe ideamill could be the first to publish a list of the companies that buy user data. Nothing wrong with selling data as long as users decide which data they are happy sharing.
“In 2018, Facebook earned an average of roughly $110 in ad revenue per American user.” So the list of “supporters” is likely quite high – whoever it is. FBI? CIA? Thats why Zuck doesn’t have to tell you.
