The Bipartisan Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act Would Forbid Government Entities From Buying Information on Americans

An amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act would forbid government entities from buying American search histories, location data, and more. The bipartisan duo is seeking stronger warrant requirements for the surveillance data constantly accumulated by people's cell phones. They argue that it shouldn't matter whether a company is willing to accept payment from the government in lieu of a judge's permission. Frankly, I would be surprised if it passes because the restriction on the US security state's powers typically fail.
