Unclassified letter reveals NSA's warrantless purchase of Americans' internet browsing data
My data is already bought and sold by companies. But when government agencies do it, suddenly we only need to stop them. Stop this madness. It shouldn’t matter if it’s corporations or a government, why not stop the sale of people’s data?
Does the NSA need a warrant to purchase information that's being legally gathered and sold?
While it's extremely immoral and unethical, I'm not sure about unconstitutional.
No, no more than its illegal for a detective to use evidence seized in a raid against a thief ring, to arrest drug dealers because there was a photo of them holding big bags of cocaine with "We Love Dealing Drugs" written and autographed on the back. They'd never have a search warrant for the dealers' house normally, but because it was robbed by someone else and the photo turned up somewhere else for them to find, it's fair game.
The governments in the US shouldn't be collecting non-public information without a warrant if acquiring that information directly would require a warrant. Seems like a clear infringement of the 4th amendment.
Well if a thing is immoral and unethical, then isn't it reasonable to call for it to be MADE illegal?
It absolutely is
