#USA #Massachusetts #DataBrokers #LocationData #Privacy #DataProtection #Surveillance: "Some 250 years after the Sons of Liberty threw chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, the State of Massachusetts could be about to lead the nation in a different sort of revolution.

Lawmakers in the state are considering a bill that would place a virtual total ban on the selling or buying (or renting or trading) of location data from any consumer’s mobile device. Additionally, law-enforcement agencies would need to obtain a warrant to access the information.

If passed, the bill would make Massachusetts the first state to completely ban the sale of this sort of data. Other states that have attempted to regulate the use of that data have required data brokers to obtain a consumer’s consent and only restricted data sales. Democrats have a supermajority in both the state’s House and Senate, and the bill is likely to become law."

Guess who is collecting and sharing abortion-related data? https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/19/abortion_data_tracking_cases/ "In case of any lingering doubt about whether abortion and location data is being collected — and used to track — people in post-Roe America, a lawsuit and two investigations should put those doubts to rest." #abortion #privacy #locationdata #Surveillance

Here is the FBI’s Contract to Buy Mass Internet Data

#USA #FBI #Surveillance #LocationData: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation paid tens of thousands of dollars on internet data, known as “netflow” data, collected in bulk by a private company, according to internal FBI documents obtained by Motherboard.

The documents provide more insight into the often overlooked trade of internet data. Motherboard has previously reported the U.S. Army’s and FBI’s purchase of such data. These new documents show the purchase was for the FBI’s Cyber Division, which investigates hackers in the worlds of cybercrime and national security.

“Commercially provided net flow information/data—2 months of service,” the internal document reads. Motherboard obtained the file through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the FBI."
