I saw an article awhile ago that the police just straight up bought ad-network data about someone they were prosecuting without needing a warrant. Is there anyway to know what info ad networks have on me out there?
I know there are databrokers you can query to see what they have kn you, but those are all public records from I could find so far
Which also confirms my recollection of that article that talked about the police using the data to add story points for their prosecution. You just need a few data points that you’re sure is true and potentially de-identify the bulk data (with some confidence, if you know the suspect’s data is there).
