The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

At least now we can be confident that a law will be passed making it illegal to sell the home addresses of members of Congress. The rest of us will still be on our own.
