A new report has surfaced claiming that law enforcement agencies, including the FBI<\/a>, have been buying Americans’ private data without warrants, in what could be seen as a violation of constitutional protections. This has caused outrage among civil liberties advocates who argue that this move is an invasion of privacy and a blatant disregard for due process.<\/p>\n

The controversy started in March when the FBI admitted to purchasing geolocation data from Americans’ mobile phone advertising. However, the agency quickly backtracked and claimed to have ended the practice after facing legal issues and public backlash. But it seems that this was only the tip of the iceberg, as more reports have emerged alleging that other law enforcement agencies have also been buying Americans’ private data.<\/p>\n

The @FBI<\/a> bought Americans\u2019 location info without a court order. This is enormous, was illegal, and has countless effects on the #FISAReform<\/a> debate this year. What it means for what remains of Americans\u2019 privacy is horrifying. https:\/\/t.co\/BZAoKPWSKd<\/a><\/p>\n
