Let that expire right along with the ICE funding.

What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft... At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.
Citizens: You can't spy on me without a legal reason!
Govt: I know, but they can.
(big tech giants appear with decades of data)
It is one of the big lies of capitalist countries like the U.S.
"Don't worry [CITIZEN ID] you have rights! The constitution says you do"
But then everyone is coerced to working for companies that are closer to miniature dictatorship kingdoms, with some of them being more powerful than "legitimate" governments.
Yeah no shit this news is like over 6 years old, they have been doing this for some time.
Some of it is, I'm sure. But the reason I posted it was because it had a lot of detailed information which I hadn't seen before. It was literally my first post on Lemmy today, other than comments. I hope I didn't make a faux pas.
Sorry, you were right to post it, I am just saying this is an ongoing thing we have those of us who followed the news have known about for quite some time. Just this last summer or so there was An article In This Very intercept detailing how the feds were streamlining the buying of data broker info and distributing it to agencies, previously agencies bought it individually and many bought the same tranches of information separately.
The whole thing is fucked. It's a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment we all know it but the goddamned federal courts are fucking traitors and deserve, something something.
Well, the good news for me personally is that since a year, I've been getting off of the American tech stack, hosting in Europe, with .eu domains, using aliases for emails on my own email server, locking down my stuff, and erasing what there is from iCloud, Google, etc... Completely. I wrote a long basic how-to a month ago to help others, and have been meaning to update it more. I've also been migrating my startup company's setup to do the same. It's all done now and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've also been encouraging others online and friends and family to do the same. I even have a few of them using my Nextcloud server nearly full time now.
So I am trying to help. 😃
The Fourth Amendment has been dead since the PATRIOT Act.
the judiciary is comprised of useful idiots that care more about the law than humanity.
Looking at CCPA deletion requests https://privacy.ca.gov/tips/submit-a-privacy-request/
The way it’s worded on that page, Businesses must comply with requests within 45 days. But if the government accesses the data as a sub processor, must they comply?
My guess would unfortunately be no.
Can we crowdfund buying data on congress, the Epstein class and their chdren, and the Trump crime syndicate so that it can be made freely publicly available?
Love that quote "We're going to search your house. We don't have a warrant, but we paid your landlord $100 to give us a spare key. So now we're searching your house without a warrant," by Laperruque
The warrant is dead. Privacy is now a luxury, not a right. We’ve officially entered the 2026 digital monitoring grid where 'data' is the new currency for control. This isn't just news; it's the 'Exodus' of our personal sovereignty in real-time
Don't put Sim cards in your phones, folks.
