WHAT DOES INFORMATION SERVICE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Information broker

An information broker collects and sells information. Uses include targeted ads, market research, consumer scoring, patent searches, and election campaigns. The industry has been criticized for being unregulated and opaque. The internet has caused a dramatic expansion in individual data; one broker, Acxiom, claims to have files on 10% of the world's population, with about 1500 pieces of information per consumer. Individuals generally cannot find out what data a broker holds on them, how a broker got it, or how it is used. Files on individuals are generally sold in lists; examples cited in testimony to the U.S. Congress include lists of rape victims, seniors with dementia, financially vulnerable people, people with HIV, and police officers. Less controversial are lists of rich people, doctors, or parents. There are probably between 3500 and 4000 data broker companies, and about a third may provide opt-outs, with some charging over a thousand dollars for them.
