depends on Laws (privacy selling)
selling personal data to 3rd party by bank, telecommunication companies is a hot issue in hong kong.
yes, people can rely on setting up a law, to restrict and open the use of personal data (PD).
i think it is stupid and silly.
because the responsibility is on ourself, on the people, not the government.
1, people have to open a bank account, a cell phone to survive in society. our PD has to hand out to them. the contact designed by the companies must contain the right of using those PD. even those we set a law to constraint the design, like bigger letter, color letter. Can we say a NO?? can we not sign the contract?
2, the PD has value, because company can make profit on it, like cold call, or other mean. Anyway, they can provide some products and make profit. therefore, some people do buy the product from cold call. the hold market can survive, cannot only has those companies, but no customer! and also, some people has to work on this, to make the phone call. people can live from it!
in my opinion, people has to say NO to EVERY cold call. if no one buy the product, the product cannot make profit, the PD will be useless.
However, if follow this thinking, this mean, the company can really sell those data to make profit, some people really buying the product!
all in all, i mean it is in fact not a problem, it is just a economic issue. and the chaos from selling PD is just a adaption period of a new business. people has to learn how to say no, stand up to themselves.
one very interesting thing is, the Octopus company earned 40 million HKD from selling PD, why no body sue it and ask for compensation? we can ask for the legislator near you! why no body do that? if it is really a matter, why no people move?
That is the reason why i like 'kick-ass' !

telecommunication should show which company is calling from. in fact, this is no new technology, but just no one use. why we have to remember a number, instead of the company name to make a phone call?
