#FBI Admits to Buying #Geolocation Data

The last couple of months have been rough on the FBI. The Twitter Files let the genie out of the bottle, and now more serious allegations against the agency just keep piling on.

If you think revelations of direct involvement in curtailing free speech on social networks coming out for the whole world to see were bad enough โ€“ wait until you hear that the FBI has now admitted to what we reported they were doing, by any reasonable interpretation, bypassing warrants, and just buying US location data.

And that could only have come from the super-murky world of data brokers, tightly and opaquely, coupled with Big Tech and the online ad industry.

On Wednesday, a US Senate hearing โ€“ conveyed to consider global threats โ€“ heard about a rather local one. At some point, FBI Director Christopher Wray was asked if the agency purchases US phone geolocation data.

Wrayโ€”once again, that's the FBI head โ€“ came back with an answer thatโ€”โ€œto his knowledgeโ€โ€”this is currently not the case, but previously, it had been.

Wray: โ€œTo my knowledge, we do not currently purchase commercial database information that includes location data derived from Internet advertising. I understand that we previously โ€“ as in the past โ€“ purchased some such information for a specific national security pilot project. But that's not been active for some time.โ€
