The NSA isn't the root of the problem, it's the fact that data brokers are literal doxxing companies. Their sole purpose is to dox people for profit.

Unfortunately, stopping data brokers is just like stopping piracy, it's almost impossible. As long as there is a single country where it's legal then data brokers will continue to steal and sell personal data to whoever wants it.
