This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.

Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.

It's so bad there are already middlemen who buy data and compile it into products for law enforcement.

You forgot to mention that of course 253 of the 572 advertising partners consider their use to be a 'legitimate interest' under privacy legislation despite being nothing even close.

Isn't 'Legitimate interest' a EU thing?

Privacy legislation? That sounds unconstitutional

INB4 SCOTUS rules Canada's existence unconstitutional since it's not mentioned in the original text anywhere
