A newly declassified US intelligence report says US intelligence agencies are collecting a sizable amount of “sensitive and intimate information” on its own citizens.
The report, which was completed in January of last year but only declassified and released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on Friday, highlights the extent to which Americans’ personal data is at risk in an era when the government seems to believe it can skirt privacy protections if it simply purchases data from private companies rather than obtaining it through the legal system.
