I had this conversation with my dad a month ago, are we not already past the point of no return on this? Can’t the government legally buy purchasing data from credit bureaus and other vendors? Can’t they legally buy location data commercially from at&t and other entities? Don’t they already do it anyways to monitor food shortages etc,? It’s not a question of can they, but have they yet. Don’t police officers already have access to this data therefore the feds definitely do? The boom in location based advertising a decade ago was the final nail in this coffin because it made the availability of location tracking data required and highly accessible.
