The NSA buys Americans’ internet data, newly released documents show
CNN
The National Security Agency has been buying Americans’ web browsing data from commercial data brokers, intelligence officials disclosed in documents made public by a US senator Thursday.
The National Security Agency has been buying Americans’ web browsing data from commercial data brokers without warrants, intelligence officials disclosed in documents made public by a US senator Thursday. The purchases include information about the websites Americans visit and the apps that they use, said Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, releasing newly unclassified letters he received from the Pentagon in recent weeks confirming the sales. The disclosures are the latest evidence that government agencies routinely buy sensitive information about Americans from commercial marketplaces that they would otherwise be required to obtain via court order. And it comes amid rising concerns that foreign governments are doing the same; CNN reported earlier this week that the Biden administration is preparing an executive order meant to curb foreign purchases of US citizens’ personal data. Wyden’s disclosure was earlier reported by The New York Times. The NSA’s purchases include “information associated with electronic devices being used outside—and, in certain cases, inside—the United States,” wrote Paul Nakasone, the NSA’s then-director, in a letter to Wyden dated Dec. 11.
