Name and shame. And please take the time to file a complaint.

Complaints don't do anything. We need people filing lawsuits. Politicians don't care, they are in bed with businesses and information collection companies.

The afore mentioned Collage.com - I'm not afraid of naming companies that willfully and flagrantly violate the law.

And yes, I should have filed a complaint with the California AG but I never did for unrelated reasons. Too late now.

Naming and shaming on a techie forum does nothing. People spent over a decade grousing about Micro$$$$oft on Slashdot to no effect.

Regulators and legislators are the only people who can do something about this. If you want to make a difference, politick, vote, or lobby.
