Our nation allows private companies to SELL PII. Our nation utilizes the availability of said PII to build their own spying apparatus. Law Enforcement uses harvested location data to track people without any warrants or due process. You are ignoring huge parts of reality to be able to say those 2 points above.

And you are ignoring the many competing interests within and throughout the federal government. Source: me, with 20 years inside DOD/IC.

  No I'm not. I'm telling someone they are ignoring all the bad things our government allows and benefits from. I'm not really sure what competing interests has to do with anything I said. Are "competing interests" the reason our own government is spying on us and tracking our lives in the secret? I'd love to understand what "competing interests" means in the context of what I said and what it has to do with the rights our government violates and answers to nobody over.

    If you can't imagine that a bureaucracy as large as the united states government might not have competing interests within... I'm not sure I can help you.

That user you are replying to seems to make a lot of claims and refuses to clarify or support anything. Very little real world knowledge it seems like. There is nothing in place to stop people collecting and selling data of any American personnel, and a large market that thrives on it. At the moment sensitive US people, cops, special ops people, judges, whoever, they are just as susceptible to having their data sold as joe schmo.
