That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps... How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?
sometimes people call those as criminals who run a business in personal data. I can't fault them for it
I could understand that. But, with a bit more context from the article (that I should have included), it's talking about the criminals that are targeting specific individual children to assault them.
Not all those who handle data obey laws. Data leaks happen.
They're already there... and they have no qualms to sell that data to whoever. The abortion cases as an example.
