Asked under oath last week whether he would commit to not buying Americans’ location data without a warrant, the Director of the FBI declined.

Didn't the supreme court just rule that as illegal?

Here’s the hole: [The Supreme Court's ruling on] Carpenter limits what the government can compel. It says nothing clear about what the government can buy. So agencies just buy it.

They can't compell a provider to provide data without a warrant but they can just buy it on the free market.

No, the supreme court decision specifically said they required a warrant to buy that information
