America will completely fail to regulate this as it always does. Soon enough advertisers and credit agencies will be reading your thoughts.

Why? Because it’s a gold mine for some individuals willing to throw $5000 at a few dozen politicians reelection campaigns. Public interest be damned.

Naah just capitalism. To America, money is the meaning of life. More money trumps everything.
