Your Smartphone Data Might Be Sold Without You Knowing—New Bill Targets 'Anthony Head' Loopholes
A new consumer protection bill just hit Congress, and it's targeting a practice called data scraping that could drain your wallet by letting companies like 'anthony head' and their data brokers sell your personal information without your consent. If passed, this law would force firms to get your explicit OK before sharing your phone number, location, or browsing habits—saving you from surprise subscription fees, spam calls, and price hikes based on your shopping history. Early analysis suggests this could cut average household digital costs by hundreds a year, but critics warn it might also raise prices on free apps. Either way, your privacy and your paycheck are now on the line.
