Reply to comment by dr_jiang in TIL that DMVs in the US are allowed to sell some of your personal information and do. This practice is legal under federal law. For example, Florida’s DMV made $77 million and California’s DMV made $52 million in 2017 through this practice alone. by TheKeyboardKid

This is similar to what Blockbuster used to do when they first opened that made them so successful. They looked up demographics for the areas they opened stores in, and that determined what to stock. Area near a college campus? Less children’s movies. Suburban strip mall? More children’s movies. Etc.
