U.S. Government Collects Vast Citizen Data
The U.S. government has been covertly gathering substantial amounts of sensitive personal data on American citizens, as unveiled in a declassified report by an advisory panel to Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence. The data collection raises significant privacy concerns, suggesting a gap between legal surveillance limits and the government's activities.
- The government bypasses the need for warrants by purchasing the data, exploiting legal ambiguities and weak privacy laws.
- Advisers highlight risks such as "mission creep" and potential misuse for stalking or harassment, underscoring a disconnect between public perception and actual government surveillance capabilities.
