Private Companies Reshape Intelligence Supply Chain
Former intelligence officer reports that private companies increasingly sell "intelligence as a service," integrating consumer sensors, commercial satellite imagery, and data brokers into government workflows. Examples include Amazon Ring's abandoned "Search Party" proposal, Clearview AI, and Nest door-camera evidence in an Arizona kidnapping. The shift raises governance and privacy concerns as governments procure surveillance, often under looser legal constraints.
