According to the article, Fog Reveal accounts are typically only offered to law enforcement organizations. The company apparently realizes the sensitivity of these data and doesn't just make it available to any random paying customer.

They are still voluntarily selling to police which is consenting. It's not your data, it's their data they collected about you.

Perhaps a good line to draw would be to ban resale of data? It's difficult to try to write a law around but at least we all agree it's a problem. It's a start.
