Not that the databroker industry mustn't be destroyed, but what really needs to happen (with respect to law-enforcement and intelligence, specifically) is that purchasing as a 4A-circumvention should be treated exactly the same as a direct 4A-violation.
When it comes to data-aggregators, they should be forced to operate under the same kinds of data-protection frameworks as other data-collectors:
• Created a medical profile from direct and indirect indicators? Congratulations, your database is now subject to HIPAA and related protection- and disemmination-frameworks.
• Created a financial profile? Congratulations, you need to be PCI/DSS compliant and need to operate under the same explicit permissions strictures the government does (you have to explicitly consent to all sharing and the consent can't be a dense, "wall-of text, click here to pretend you read and understand it" vehicle)
• Etc.
Basically, allow them to exist, but make the expense of maintaining those products so high as to basically be not worth doing.
