13:11Now PlayingAfter attending a pro-Palestinian campus protest, one student journalist reportedly became the target of a federal investigation—and his data was quietly handed over by Google. New reporting by The Intercept uncovers the depth of personal data requested by ICE officials and how immigration authorities are using powerful tools to access deeply personal information. Brennan Center for Justice’s Faiza Patel, weighs in: They can identify whether you go to a gun shop, whether you go to a mosque, whether you go to an abortion clinic, all these really intimate details about us are revealed by this kind of information which is available to the government via subpoena." Technology journalist, Jacob Ward adds, "the Fourth Amendment doesn't protect a third-party data relationship, and we're in a world now where when an outlet like ICE or anybody else wants this data, they don't need a subpoena."
