     @eff The GOP Congress is too busy defending a grifting conman than working for America. They are colluding with a corrupt SCOTUS to undermine the Constitution.

     'The FTC found companies gathering detailed personal information, such as the websites you visit, your location data, your demographic information, and your interests, including sensitive interests like “divorce support” and “beer and spirits.” Some companies could only report high-level descriptions of the user attributes they tracked, while others produced spreadsheets with thousands of attributes'
