US companies are sellling your personal data — to the government!
NY Post
U.S. spies and cops are vacuuming up huge amounts of data about Americans from data brokers — a trend that puts us on a dangerous path already trodden out by authoritarian regimes such as China.
In America, we curtail government powers and guarantee civil liberties by limiting the amount of information citizens provide to the state.
Police need a warrant to strap a GPS device on your car or listen to your telephone calls.
Intelligence agencies and military units are banned from targeting Americans for surveillance and are supposed to focus their attention overseas.
America is built on the notion that too much power and information in the hands of the state is a danger.
We want police to solve murders and national security agencies to keep us safe but we don’t want that power to be all-encompassing or panoptic.
