| Washington Examiner: The Securities and Exchange Commission is collecting personal information about the buyers and sellers of every single stock trade in the United States and is holding that information for the perusal of thousands of bureaucrats and any hacker who is able to break into the database. This database, called the Consolidated Audit Trail, collects information such as the buyer’s and seller’s address, date or year of birth, and Social Security number. This invasion of privacy affects at least 61% of people in the U.S. Read the full article here. The database is a disaster for the privacy of millions of people. In terms of the amount of information collected, only the National Security Agency’s data-collection program is larger, and that database is not focused on people. What is worse, these types of databases are not secure. In 2016, hackers made off with over $4 million by trading on at least 157 nonpublic earnings releases from the SEC’s very own Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. .... Republican members of Congress are trying to reestablish congressional authority in the area of financial privacy. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) have introduced the Protecting Investors’ Personally Identifiable Information Act, which would prevent the SEC from forcing financial institutions to hand over people’s information. Similarly, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s (R-MN) CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, aimed at halting a centralized government financial surveillance scheme in the field of cryptocurrency, passed the House 216-192 in May. A similar coalition could be constructed to protect people’s privacy from the CAT. | IN THE NEWS: Liz Cheney contacted controversial J6 witness on encrypted app behind lawyer's back, messages show | Just The News: While vice chairwoman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, former Rep.
