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."

 Very hopeful to see, but the data is never truly going to be purged, just mirrored in places that can’t be audited. 

 Yeah its all smoke & mirrors. Wyden might mean what he says but nobody believes the NSA are going to give up their data, & even if the did they will get it again in some other way. That's what they do & nothing will ever stop them. 

 the enablement of opt out thru informed consent effectively put the MIC on notice they are knowingly engaging in illegal activity. should your data wind up 
in their system, that's the op for lawsuits

they'll still break the law, but they exist on eggshells 

better than before
