Sorry, you were right to post it, I am just saying this is an ongoing thing we have those of us who followed the news have known about for quite some time. Just this last summer or so there was An article In This Very intercept detailing how the feds were streamlining the buying of data broker info and distributing it to agencies, previously agencies bought it individually and many bought the same tranches of information separately. The whole thing is fucked. It's a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment we all know it but the goddamned federal courts are fucking traitors and deserve, something something.

Well, the good news for me personally is that since a year, I've been getting off of the American tech stack, hosting in Europe, with .eu domains, using aliases for emails on my own email server, locking down my stuff, and erasing what there is from iCloud, Google, etc... Completely. I wrote a long basic how-to a month ago to help others, and have been meaning to update it more. I've also been migrating my startup company's setup to do the same. It's all done now and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've also been encouraging others online and friends and family to do the same. I even have a few of them using my Nextcloud server nearly full time now. So I am trying to help. 😃

The Fourth Amendment has been dead since the PATRIOT Act.

the judiciary is comprised of useful idiots that care more about the law than humanity.
