The U.S. Government is purchasing tools like these and using them: https://www.404media.co/inside-the-u-s-government-bought-too...
This has been a widespread problem for the better part of at least half a decade, likely much more.
To do it on their own would be illegal. To buy it from a commercial vendor is an easy contract to write. Quite something. Perhaps we should write a new law making it illegal.
They managed to outsource it on accident just because of a shared need with advertisers to target people.
