The FTC said that “OkCupid provided the third party with access to nearly three million OkCupid user photos as well as location and other information without placing any formal or contractual restrictions on how the information could be used.” OkCupid “did not inform consumers or give them the chance to opt out of such sharing,” the FTC said.

I want to see the world where all the data broker and seller types and companies are prosecuted and get hard punishments. Some need to be shut down, others restructured so they can't do it again, some CEOs probably need to be jailed

That'll never happen as long as politicians still get ~~bribes~~ lobby money ablnd governments/law enforcement buy data to circumvent legal protections like warrants.

Never say never but yes, most bad guys in history didn't get punished
