Federal agencies could no longer buy many personal digital records to avoid going to court. They would often need a judge’s order first. Data gathered in violation of the bill could be kept out of court.
Modern Action shows what the legislation would change, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act is a Senate bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, data brokers, technology companies, courts, and people whose digital records may be collected or sold. Agencies would face tighter rules before getting personal data. Companies that sell, store, carry, or process digital records would face clearer limits on what they can share with the government.
Why this matters: This bill matters because federal agencies can sometimes get personal digital data by buying it, instead of asking a judge first. The bill would close that path for many types of records. It could give people more privacy in their phone location, online searches, browsing history, and communications. It could also slow some investigations or intelligence work, depending on how courts and agencies apply the rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
