In a time where every shred of your personal data appears to be up for sale, even California’s own government isn’t immune from a good deal.
California’s Department of Motor Vehicles has sold driver’s license data to commercial buyers for at least the last six fiscal years, a new report from Motherboard, the tech arm of Vice News, states.
