Seems the problem is less that the US is buying it (our adversaries surely are too) and more that it’s for sale in the first place.


I mean, most of the mobile carriers and a number of ISPs straight up monitor your web traffic and sell it to advertisers, just as bad. Some will even inject headers that you can use to track and associate mobile devices with desktops.


Yeah. I’m a lot more upset that the data is for sale in the first place. I want our government to have any helpful data that is public because I assume bad actors have it also. I just don’t want a lot of data to the public.
