minus-squareintensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·9 months agoJust ballpark, how many companies do you think there are in the USA?
minus-squareumulu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-29 months agoNot from USA, but I want to have a go at that question. I would say, around 2,000,000 companies?
minus-squareintensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoThat’s about what I would have guessed. And I’d say it answers the question. About 100 companies are collecting tons of data, then selling it to 10,000 more companies.
