New York Daily News: Is our government buying our data? We need a federal investigation. by Elizabeth Holtzman and Mark Udall (Nov. 18, 2021) (“Tech companies, eager to sell us ads, promise to anonymize any of our shared data, a promise sometimes observed in the breach by the data brokers who buy that bulk data by the terabyte. But ironically, the gravest threat to our privacy comes not from unscrupulous businesses, but from a customer with the biggest wallet in the world, the U.S. government.”) Maybe with this, Congress can find a way to start limiting the third party doctrine. Carpenter might give us a way into the third party doctrine here, but none of us should have any confidence that SCOTUS will go along unless a Carpenter-like record could be presented.
