House passes bill banning Uncle Sam from snooping on citizens via data brokers

The report covers U.S. legislative moves on surveillance and data privacy: the House narrowly passed the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act (H.R.4639) to prohibit government purchases of Americans’ data from brokers, despite White House opposition emphasizing the intelligence value of commercially available information. It highlights prior government use of brokered data, ACLU support, a unanimous House bill to bar sales of broker data to foreign adversaries, and the House’s passage of RISAA to reinstate and broaden FISA Section 702—expanding the scope of entities subject to data requests after a failed attempt to ban warrantless U.S. queries.
