Oh what makes you think governments need to pay for that? Is free if you're a big enough market.

I'm surprised that they pay for it. They could just demand it through all kinds of national security laws.
Oh they definitely do that stuIf but when they do they have to disclose that to the senate or whomever oversees such things. This way they can quietly buy up a shit ton of data with whatever dark budgets they have access to.
