So being a tax payer means you’re immune to investigation? Because you’re taxed fund that investigation?
I’m not defending the practice. I’m saying the feebs aren’t the ones doing something wrong- that information is more or less broadly available; the companies that are selling it are getting your data because you- and everyone else- give it to them.
And a lot of it, also, because these companies offer free or cheap services that lets them collect it. Which they turn around and sell to anyone who has the money to pay.
It’s not just the NSA, but also foreign governments and every major corporation buying that data where ever they can. (And also selling it.)
You want to fix this… you’re not gonna fix it going after the NSA for doing what it’s literally meant to do. Gotta go for the privacy and data transparency laws. Gotta make it illegal to sell data in the first place.
