    It definitely transpires in the article ("An Institute for Justice review of media reports has identified at least 14 cases nationwide"), and assumes it's when the causes for termination are disclosed. And damn, how the providers state they have safeguards to prevent that and yet, most of the cases where discovered by the victims, not the safeguards (what a surprise eh).

    Anyway, for the United States fellows out here : https://haveibeenflocked.com/
