Deep dives
Government's use of data brokers
Data brokers collect and sell personal data legally, including to the federal government, which raises concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the abuse of power. By purchasing data rather than conducting warrantless searches, the government bypasses constitutional protections. This practice also poses risks in other countries like Russia, China, and Iran, where the use of collected data for malicious purposes is a concern.
