I feel like this is the forest-through-the-trees comment. The data shouldn’t exist and that should be the direction of legislation. If it’s available for purchase then I think it would be weird that any schmuck could buy it but not the government. If the data collection is stopped, no one gets it and everyone wins.
Also, if something is technically possible but illegal for the CIA/FBI/etc to do, it just means they have to try to hide the fact they’re still doing it
