A bipartisan coalition of 20 senators proposed new data privacy legislation on Wednesday designed to prevent the sale of American users’ data to law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
The “Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act” aims to close what the lawmakers label as a legal loophole allowing data brokers to sell Americans’ data without court oversight. Sens. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, and Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, led the coalition of 17 Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and three Republicans.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is raising concerns about the level of transparency, or lack thereof, the U.S. government exercises when it comes to electronic surveillance.
It has been noted that the FISC s use of secret legal opinion has had a major impact on Americans privacy rights, freedom of expression, and free association. Now, they are asking for the U.S. Supreme Court to execute an order for the FISC to publish its secret opinions and only implement redactions that are absolutely necessary to serve as a preventative measure where real harm is an threat to national security.
