> This move actually makes a lot of sense, and it's shameful that the US government has failed to implement this already. Because it's not permitted by law. You are not allowed to use data collected by the USG except for the purpose that it was collected for [1]. Obviously the law doesn't matter much right now and that's why the USG is pursuing it (and due to a lack of security; leaking it straight to other countries).
