The problem is, in the US we have 4th Amendment protection against warantless searches. Many other nations, have a similar right, by another name. Canada has Section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.\n>\n> These are more and more bypassed by data brokers. The government purchases data from data brokers. Data it could not get without a warant in the past.\n>\n> Maybe this is not as much a problem yet in Canada as in the US? I’m not sure, hope some Canadians can say how it is? But here in the US, it’s a massive prob now.\n>\n> Related: We Built a Surveillance State: What Now?",
