Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Allstate and Arity for Unlawfully Collecting, Using, and Selling Over 45 Million Americans’ Driving Data to Insurance Companies
www.texasattorneygeneral.govAllstate, through its subsidiary data analytics company Arity, would pay app developers to incorporate its software to track consumers’ driving data. Allstate collected trillions of miles worth of location data from over 45 million consumers nationwide and used the data to create the “world’s largest driving behavior database.” When a consumer requested a quote or renewed their coverage, Allstate and other insurers would use that consumer’s data to justify increasing their car insurance premium.

Send them to jail. I don’t need fucking 20 bucks settlement.
“Texas Data Privacy and Security Act”… This is a thing? lol
Hyper rare Ken Paxton W?
Texas?
That Ken Paxton?
Did Allstate not pay their protection money, or something?
(It’s not completely a joke. Allowing rampant corruption, and then cracking down on real crimes using legitimate systems of justice but only on the crimes done by people who cross you personally, is one of the galaxy-brain strats of the sophisticated modern tyrant. It’s incredibly powerful and there’s not really a good way to resist or prevent it that I know of. It’s one of the big reasons Xi Jinping has become as powerful as he is.)
Yea this stinks of someone’s palms not getting greased enough.
For the love of all that is pure and holy, don’t force me to agree with Ken Paxton! It’s inhumane.
This isn’t the first time he has come out in support of privacy and I really don’t understand it.
He probably doesn’t want anybody see the data of his frequent trips to the brothels of Juárez
