Data brokers package these details into dossiers and sell them to advertisers, insurers, scammers, and even government agencies that would otherwise need a warrant to obtain the same information. Artificial intelligence has made the crisis worse on ...

In 1776 the Founding Fathers announced to the world America’s plans for independence.
