Why is data brokering necessary? Or is it?
Employers and police agencies use the information they obtain from data brokers to screen potential employees and investigate crimes, respectively. This may seem unsettling in itself at first glance.
However, when looked at from the employer's or the detective's point of view the need for this resource is clear. Should an employer simply ignore a potential way to screen out a drug addicted pre-hire? Would you feel comfortable knowing that your police department wasn't pursuing every possible resource for solving a crime?
The answers to these questions make it clear why the data brokering industry is necessary. That said, the information is used for more than just these noble purposes. Basically, this information may be sold to whoever has the money.
