Yes! And if you “lose” my data you owe me big money.

Also have the fine scale exponentially by data items.... data set of 100 people with 2 items (name and email = $400 total or ($2x$2=$4 per user x 100 users)).

Data set with 1 million users and 10 fields per user would be $1B and $1,024 paid to each person...

Then make companies bond their liability - with recourse against anyone up the chain of title if the data was purchased...

Perhaps a bit draconian...

You've just shut down every personal blog and small (or medium or large...) forum on the Internet.

Anonymous data is not the same thing. There's no reason to jump to regulation of data without a legal trail.

What's anoymous data? If I have an e-mail, a screenname, and IP, I bet I could identify at least the household with a much greater than 0% success rate.
