The House Judiciary Committee advanced the bill 30-0.

“This bill is the latest sign of bipartisan support in Congress to tackle the government’s warrantless purchase of American’s personal data, such as location information and internet records, in circumvention of the Fourth Amendment and statutory protections,” Caitriona Fitzgerald, deputy director of EPIC wrote in a statement.

“We’re seeing some incredible leadership on the hill and off the hill,” said Sean Vitka, policy counsel for Demand Progress. “The House has made it clear they want to close the data broker loophole, full stop,” he said.

    What about banks and their Anaconda software that has every bit of everything about you? Where are the articles and regulations on that?

    I’m not concerned about the government find out about rich conservatives selling out the country.

    I’m worried about the unregulated rich assholes who keep trying to fuck and steal everything with foreign help.
