Rejected petition Strengthen data protection laws and neutralize data brokers' collection methods

The GDPR and DPA do not suffice in the eradication of data collection services engaged to view users of online networks, e.g through using Google or Amazon. Unnecessary data, e.g sleep time, usage of a particular service, shopping history, must be withheld from being accumulated and sold as ads.

More details

It is simply a breach of personal privacy, resulting in the neglect of acknowledging the general preference to maintain personal distance from any other that might view their activities. Not only that, but recieving ads based the psychological state of the individual boarders breaching the "ease-to-not-consent" regulation, effectively to reject cookies, analysis and data collection, as one would not be aware in some circumstaces that they "agree" to anything resulting in ambiguous consent cases.
