This shouldn't be about making it so 3 letter agencies can't buy data. It should be about making it illegal to collect and sell that data in the first place.

*unless they want to for "reasons"

They still need data to be collected on everyone. They're just going to start buying the data of all the "bad" people which will be a third of the population.
