United States of America: Introduction of Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act including data protection measure
Description
Introduction of Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act including data protection measure
The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act is introduced, aiming to close regulatory loopholes that allow data brokers to share data with law enforcement agencies without consent or court oversight. The bill would require law enforcement agencies to obtain a court order before they can access personal information through third parties that aggregate and sell information such as user location data.
