Your Data is Oozing: How the US Government Accesses Citizens' Data Using Consumer AdTech
US government agencies, including law enforcement, are purchasing data sets created through private citizens’ use of consumer technology. This practice enables these agencies to access to information that they otherwise would’ve needed a warrant to acquire if they were collecting it themselves. Is this a problem? What are the risks of the widespread proliferation of our personal data among government users? Should data sets created through advertising ecosystems be restricted from government use? The Cyber.RaR team explores these questions and talks about policy options for balancing security and privacy.
