US agencies buy vast quantities of personal information on the open market – a legal scholar explains why and what it means for privacy in the age of AI

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, June 29, 2023

The revelation was published in a partially declassified, internal Office of the Director of National Intelligence report released on June 9, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • The revelation was published in a partially declassified, internal Office of the Director of National Intelligence report released on June 9, 2023.
  • The report shows the breathtaking scale and invasive nature of the consumer data market and how that market directly enables wholesale surveillance of people.
  • As a privacy, electronic surveillance and technology law attorney, researcher and law professor, I have spent years researching, writing and advising about the legal issues the report highlights.

What is commercially available information?

    • The drafters of the report take the position that commercially available information is a subset of publicly available information.
    • Publicly available information is information that is already in the public domain.
    • Commercially available information is different.
    • The sources and types of data for commercially available information are mind-bogglingly vast.

Better, cheaper and unrestricted

    • The information is a cost-effective way to surveil virtually everyone, plus it provides far more sophisticated data than traditional electronic surveillance tools or methods like wiretapping and location tracking.
    • Complying with these laws takes time and money, plus electronic surveillance law restricts what, when and how data can be collected.
    • Commercially available information is cheaper to obtain, provides far richer data and analysis, and is subject to little oversight or restriction compared to when the same data is collected directly by the government.

The threats

    • The Office of the Director of National Intelligence report warns that the increasing volume and widespread availability of commercially available information poses “significant threats to privacy and civil liberties.” It increases the power of the government to surveil its citizens outside the bounds of law, and it opens the door to the government using that data in potentially unlawful ways.
    • This could include using location data obtained via commercially available information rather than a warrant to investigate and prosecute someone for abortion.

Is it legal?

    • There is no legal prohibition on the government collecting information already disclosed to the public or otherwise publicly available.
    • Despite decades of increasingly sophisticated and invasive commercial data aggregation, Congress has not passed a federal data privacy law.
    • The lack of federal regulation around data creates a loophole for government agencies to evade electronic surveillance law.

Throttling the data pipeline

    • Yet smartphones, connected cars, web tracking technologies, the Internet of Things, and other innovations have had this effect without government participation.” However, it isn’t entirely correct to say “without government participation.” The legislative branch could have prevented this situation by enacting data privacy laws, more tightly regulating commercial data practices, and providing oversight in AI development.
    • Effective data privacy laws would keep your personal information safer from government agencies and corporations, and responsible AI regulation would block them from manipulating you.
