"In selling law enforcement agencies bulk access to such sensitive information, these airlines—through their data broker—are putting their own profits over travelers' privacy. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently detailed its own purchase of personal data from ARC. In the current climate, this can have a detrimental impact on people’s lives.

Movement unrestricted by governments is a hallmark of a free society. In our current moment, when the federal government is threatening legal consequences based on people’s national, religious, and political affiliations, having air travel in and out of the United States tracked by any ARC customer is a recipe for state retribution.

Sadly, data brokers are doing even broader harm to our privacy. Sensitive location data is harvested from smartphones and sold to cops, internet backbone data is sold to federal counterintelligence agencies, and utility databases containing phone, water, and electricity records are shared with ICE officers."

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Data Brokers are Selling Your Flight Information to CBP and ICEFor many years, data brokers have existed in the shadows, exploiting gaps in privacy laws to harvest our information—all for their own profit. They sell our precise movements without our knowledge or meaningful consent to a variety of private and state actors, including law enforcement agencies....

"“I’m here to tell you if you’ve ever been on a dating app that wanted your location, or if you ever granted a weather app permission to know where you are 24/7, there’s a good chance a detailed log of your precise movement patterns has been vacuumed up and saved in some data bank somewhere that tens of thousands of total strangers have access to,” writes Tau.

Unraveling the story of how these strangers—everyone from government intelligence agents and local law enforcement officers to private investigators and employees of ad tech companies—gained access to our personal information is the ambitious task Tau sets for himself, and he begins where you might expect: the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

At no other point in US history was the government’s appetite for data more voracious than in the days after the attacks, says Tau. It was a hunger that just so happened to coincide with the advent of new technologies, devices, and platforms that excelled at harvesting and serving up personal information that had zero legal privacy protections.

Over the course of 22 chapters, Tau gives readers a rare glimpse inside the shadowy industry, “built by corporate America and blessed by government lawyers,” that emerged in the years and decades following the 9/11 attacks. In the hands of a less skilled reporter, this labyrinthine world of shell companies, data vendors, and intelligence agencies could easily become overwhelming or incomprehensible. But Tau goes to great lengths to connect dots and plots, explaining how a perfect storm of business motivations, technological breakthroughs, government paranoia, and lax or nonexistent privacy laws combined to produce the “digital panopticon” we are all now living in."

"There is no “cloud,” just someone else's computer—and when the cops come knocking on their door, these hosts need to be willing to stand up for privacy, and know how to do so to the fullest extent under the law. These legal limits are also important for users to know, not only to mitigate risks in their security plan when choosing where to share data, but to understand whether these hosts are going to bat for them. Taking action together, service hosts and users can curb law enforcement getting more data than they’re allowed, protecting not just themselves but targeted populations, present and future.

This is distinct from law enforcement’s methods of collecting public data, such as the information now being collected on student visa applicants. Cops may use social media monitoring tools and sock puppet accounts to collect what you share publicly, or even within “private” communities. Police may also obtain the contents of communication in other ways that do not require court authorization, such as monitoring network traffic passively to catch metadata and possibly using advanced tools to partially reveal encrypted information. They can even outright buy information from online data brokers. Unfortunately there are few restrictions or oversight for these practices—something EFF is fighting to change.

Below however is a general breakdown of the legal processes used by US law enforcement for accessing private data, and what categories of private data these processes can disclose. Because this is a generalized summary, it is neither exhaustive nor should be considered legal advice. Please seek legal help if you have specific data privacy and security needs."

by me:

When talking about data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to also discuss queer dating apps.

Many factors contribute in making queer people more likely to seek love and friendship online.

Unfortunately, dating apps are horrible for data privacy, and it's even worse for queer dating apps.

Why Are Hundreds of #DataBrokers Not Registering with States?

Hundreds of data brokers have not registered with state consumer protection agencies. These findings come as more states are passing #DataBroker #transparency laws that require brokers to provide information about their business and, in some cases, give consumers an easy way to opt out.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Why Are Hundreds of Data Brokers Not Registering with States?Hundreds of data brokers have not registered with state consumer protection agencies. A new analysis by Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) reveals that many data brokers registered in one state aren’t registered in others.

The data broker industry proves again and again that they're among the worst when it comes to privacy!

Data broker CRIF has phone numbers from contracts I cancelled before 2011 on file. Those numbers have been inaccurate for 14 years now, yet they apparently saw no need to delete them. And I'm not even beginning to ask why they ever needed them.

Needless to say that I knew nothing about which of my data they had until I filed an access request.

⚖️ Montana just became the first U.S. state to ban law enforcement from purchasing personal data from brokers — and it’s a privacy milestone 🚫📱

Under this new law:
📍 Government agencies can’t buy sensitive data (location, biometrics, etc.) without a warrant
🔍 It closes a major loophole used to sidestep Fourth Amendment protections
📄 Agencies also can’t require people to waive rights through service terms
🧱 It sets a precedent for digital due process in a data-saturated world

This isn’t just a state law. It’s a model for what digital civil liberties legislation should look like nationwide.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Montana Becomes First State to Close the Law Enforcement Data Broker LoopholeMontana has done something that many states and the United States Congress have debated but failed to do: it has just enacted the first attempt to close the dreaded, invasive, unconstitutional, but easily fixed “data broker loophole.” This is a very good step in the right direction because right...
