What happened on Capitol Hill today wasn’t oversight, it was a confession: the FBI is buying the location data of Americans. Not with warrants. Not with probable cause. With money. FBI Director Kash Patel openly admitted they purchase “commercially available” data, as if selling your movements somehow erases your rights, while the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency echoed the same sanitized language about “constitutionality.” Senator Wyden called it what it is, a Fourth Amendment bypass, especially dangerous in an era where AI can map entire lives from raw data. And the defense? Senator Tom Cotton argued that if corporations can sell your privacy, the government has every right to buy it. That’s the standard now: your rights don’t matter if they can be packaged and sold. Your movements aren’t private. They’re a commodity, and your government just confirmed it’s a customer.
