FBI director Kash Patel confirms the FBI is buying location data and histories that can be used for tracking people. It's the first time in recent years that the FBI has said it's actively buying this information, without needing a warrant.

@zackwhittaker "If any other person can buy it, and the FBI can buy it"
Does this mean that 'anybody' has the authority to arrest you or deport you? Not that I would expect Tom Cotton to understand what the Constitution means.
Why else did the NSA want 9-11 to violate rights with the patriot act? So they didn't get the bureaucracy headache submitting warrants to violate the 4th amendment.
@zackwhittaker "If any other person can buy it, and the FBI can buy it, and it helps them locate a depraved child molester or savage cartel leader, I would certainly hope the FBI is doing anything it can to keep Americans safe"
Sure there government, your totally just going to use that data only for that and not track and punish the people you don't like.
