The Government BUYS YOUR DATA FROM PRIVATE COMPANIES. Information about you, that would otherwise require a search warrant by the government to invade your privacy to get, is simply available for sale to anyone who has the money to buy it, by private companies that do not abide by any laws. There is this false assumption, that an individual can “waiver their rights” to something, by signing an “Agreement”. That is not true. Even if a person “agrees to by signing”, no one can waiver away their own, your own, or anyone else’s own Constitutional Rights. But it happens constantly every day, everywhere, and in every country. There are many countries where any kind of “Right to privacy” simply does not exist. And America is already headed in that direction.

Governments, Militaries, Law Enforcement, Think Tanks, anyone with lots of money can buy every piece of data you have ever entered, anywhere, online or in private. From you location history, to text messages, to your photo library, online accounts, user names and passwords, medical records, bank records, anything that you thought was “safe”. Nothing is safe with AI’s ability to gather it all together, and deliver it in a package that paints an image of you however it wants to.

For us TI’s right now, there is no “solution”. It is only when enough people WORLDWIDE are made aware of the surveillance under which we live, can the tide turn. A tipping point of enough people stepping forward, and saying “This is real”. But we are not there yet. Sorry for being pessimistic about it, but I can only speak the truth. Going into a protectionist behavior is my only advice. Don’t hide what you are doing. Just do it knowing that everyone and everything is under surveillance. Do not let your emotional trauma overwhelm you. Do not feel like you are isolated, or your situation is different from anyone else’s. EVERYONE IS UNDER SURVEILLANCE whether they know it yet or not. And don’t waste your tears crying over what they have done to you. They feed off of your tears. Don’t feed them. Starve them to death. Don’t say “Why, why me, what is this for?” Say “You idiots have sold out your own souls and will never receive the full rewards promised to you”. “They are lying to you, the same way they are lying to you about me”. Don’t say “Why are you doing this to me?”. Say “Everything you do to me, you are doing to yourself”. And then add a good “GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU STUPID FUCKIN IDIOTS”.

Federal Agencies Are Secretly Buying Consumer Data

The practice undermines civil rights and circumvents the Constitution’s privacy protections.

They don’t need to buy our data from those companies because the government already have all our data!

Where did the government get the data from? Very specifically, location data. The companies that make the phones and the apps have the data. The US government is not making the devices or the apps.
