My Privacy Damages: A Whole Dollar
Florida settles lawsuit — and I get $1.
Yes, one whole dollar for the State of Florida illegally selling personal info from my drivers’ license to marketing firms.

Michael,
Thank you. I'm hope I'm not the only one disgusted by this. It's not even a repayment of the money they made from selling our information.
I'm shocked that such a low settlement would be reached. But more than anything, I'm concerned that there's very little talk about the ramifications of our data being sold and how this type of abuse will be prevented from happening again.
