    Well at least it’s not going to the federal government so it should be somewhat safe

      The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.

      Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.

      It’s so bad there are already middlemen who buy data and compile it into products for law enforcement.

        You forgot to mention that of course 253 of the 572 advertising partners consider their use to be a ‘legitimate interest’ under privacy legislation despite being nothing even close.

      If it was last administration I’d say it’s just slightly annoying that our day was going to the federal government. But it’s admin…maybe not

        I don’t want any administration to be able to. They should absolutely be able to buy it so long as they have a warrant for that instance of that individual or if the individual agrees to cooperate in that instance without coercion.
