U.S. intelligence agencies are buying and storing personal information on Americans with little oversight and few guidelines, according to a government report.
The report, which the Office of the Director of National Intelligence published Monday, offers fresh insight at how U.S. intelligence agencies have capitalized on the widespread availability of for-purchase data on Americans. The partially declassified report is dated January 2022. Its author was redacted, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not respond to a request for comment on the authors.
Government agencies have to navigate an array of laws that often prevent them from tracking Americans without a court order or warrant. But there are few legal restrictions on private companies that buy, repackage and sell personal data, which the report calls “commercially available information” or CAI.information
The Department of Homeland Security has used Web of Science, a clearinghouse for academic studies, to identify foreign researchers working in the U.S. who were tied to their home country’s militaries, the report found. The CIA was working out its own policies on using that kind of data as of the date of the report. The agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for an update.
