Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon is raising concerns about the NSA’s potential acquisition of Americans’ location and browsing data without a warrant. He is blocking the confirmation of a new NSA director until he receives answers. Wyden believes that the American people have the right to know whether the NSA is engaging in warrantless domestic surveillance that violates the Fourth Amendment. Commercial data brokers collect personal information from various sources and sell it to interested parties, including government agencies. In early 2021, Wyden revealed that the Defense Intelligence Agency was purchasing Americans’ location data. He is calling for a simple yes or no answer regarding the NSA’s activities.
