Politicians on both sides.
In Austria, you cant do that. If you are in a database (other than government related databases like crime etc) and you dont want to be in it, you can request to be removed from it. Otherwise it is a violation of the dataprotection laws and violators can be fined with prison time and fines of 18,000 USD per violation.

That is NOT what I said.
What I wanted to achieve was people to read the article and then sign the petition and maybe contact their representatives about this to prevent this from happening. This new law is clearly not in the best interest of the american people.
But of yourse, you can just go and interpret this as whatever suits you best. I hope you get a lot of spam calls and that you will have to pay for all of that "useful information" too.
Shakes head...
