But really, i don't think it would take very long to figure out where he and his staff in DC and in Tennessee live. I don't know what the data purchase rates are, so that could be expensive. But buy the data for a bunch of neighborhoods. Perhaps 50,000 people. watch the data for a while, query strings with Lamar would be good indicators.

Heck, make some really finely targeted ads on Facebook.

I think the reality is most news sourced this way would be super tabloidish. i mean, you're going to figure out what porn they look at faster than what policy they're developing.

There are all sorts of problems like this. What could you learn from the browsing history of people that work in sensitive areas? i.e. nuclear facilities, national labs, financial/industry regulators, etc. City and state representatives probably give away a lot through browsing. There's plenty of low lying fruit ripe for exploiting in huge ways.

Another avenue: merely knowing when someone is likely to browse the internet tells you:

-they're awake

-they're at home/indications of their location

-their level of awareness (think security workers or even prison guards)

Imagine being able to figure out the best time of day to hit a bank by browsing history? In an aggregate way you could probably figure out staffing (corporate level) or whether someone's home (residential level).

I think it's only fair that these folks get to be the first ones to live in the kind of world they are creating. And none of them should have a problem with any of this, because I'm certain none of them ever do anything wrong and therefore have nothing to hide.

The big deal is when you drop a report full of embarrassing information you collected without their knowledge and they are powerless to stop it because of their own bill they passed.
