Senator Calls for U.S. Intelligence to Purge All Personal Data About Americans Acquired via Illegal Data Sales
- "Although the intelligence agencies warrantless purchase of Americans personal data is now a matter of public record, recent actions by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the primary federal privacy regulator, raise serious questions about the legality of this practice."
- "According to the FTC, it is not enough for a consumer to consent to an app or website collecting such data, the consumer must be told and agree to their data being sold to government contractors for national security purposes."
