   Rather than obtaining a warrant, the bureau purchased sensitive data -   
   a controversial practice that privacy advocates say is deeply   
   problematic.   
      
   The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has acknowledged for   
   the first time that it purchased US location data rather than obtaining   
   a warrant. While the practice of buying people's location data has   
   grown increasingly common since the US Supreme Court reined in the   
   government's ability to warrantlessly track Americans' phones nearly   
   five years ago, the FBI had not previously revealed ever making such   
   purchases.
