Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE
ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 3 months agoYeah that’s one of the things that stood out as what the hell… the companies already have the data, if ICE wanted it legally they shouldn’t need to pay… Really shows how shady they’re being.

The government can’t just take every companies data. They absolutely can buy it if that is an option though. Just like how they pay for licenses for software, they can and do pay for data.

Related to crimes, they kinda really can

Correct, but this is about collecting it without any crime.

Which is the problem.
ICE would not be able to legally subpoena these companies for our data, so they buy it from them as a loophole.
