I'm not sure that it's illegal for the government to purchase publicly-available information. I understand the potential risks, but I don't think a warrant is required to buy something that's legally available for sale.

They'd be pretty bored with my internet activity. Football season is (almost) over and road cycling season just started so I'll be watching all the races leading to the three grand tours.
Then there's my DIY obsession, supporting folks who rescue and rehome cats, CrossFit season, the Olympics which will take us into the football preseason. Yeah, I'm busy. Bother someone else.

Yes we buy the data, we aren't collecting it already ourselves. Unless you don't sign into anything (Google or Apple), then they already know everything. You are going to have to use an old phone or give up on security. Even the new "secure" phones are questionable. Sent from my SM-T970 using Tapatalk |
