    This is close to the real problem. If the NSA is able to buy it without a warrant, that means it’s effectively public information about you that is collected and published without your consent (regardless of what it says deep inside a privacy policy that you are forced to accept to continue). If that information is useful to the NSA, then it shouldn’t be legal for that information to be collected without benefit to the user or sold at all, aggregated or not.
