Everyone knows this, regarding reselling the data
Maybe I missundertand what you mean but doesn't the other comment responding disagree?
It sounds like we need legislation that restricts government data being sold or cross referenced by private companies. I don't see that happening though as people cower when it comes to the term saftey.
Soon as someone says it helps track down murderers and rapists, many people will back it. I imagine the NSA/FBI/CIA would want deals with the private sector such as Ring and such to acquire possible matches that fit criminals they haven't found.
This creates an invasion of privacy, but many people would vote for it because they don't value their privacy over such. I think the questions come back to how we can keep privacy while searches like that are bound to be supported/occur.
In theory acquisition of data from private sector to government I think will always pass by voters. Whether I agree or not, but writing legislation that blocks any information being shared/sold by government to private sector I believe we can get people to support.
