The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) and 30 civil society groups urged the US Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees to close the data broker loophole, highlighting a new Department of Homeland Security agreement with Thomson Reuters that allows access to sensitive American personal data without court approval.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway
