#4How about passing a law explicitly covering the kind of information being collected and sold as actually being private, and against the law to share with anyone without a warrant?

Intelligence agencies' very role is to break laws.

My guess is that this will probably require a Constitutional Amendment to shore up the fourth amendment (call it 4A++).

I think they are explicitly exempt from certain laws. This doesn’t mean they are above the law.
And maybe they break the law and keep getting away with it. But this doesn’t mean that’s how they are meant to work.

An intelligence agency’s role is gathering intelligence on malevolent entities that threaten a country in some way. Not more, not less—but their role certainly isn’t breaking laws per se, or amassing data on the general public to engage in pre-policing. No matter how much certain parties may advocate for that, a democracy cannot exist in a surveillance state, and anyone convinced of that has lost democratic legitimacy.

That's not true at all. Intelligence agencies can't just do whatever they want. They are beholden to the people just like every other government agency. They can be granted power to do things that ordinary people can't, but that doesn't mean they are above the law.

It won't. There are already laws in place, like the California Consumer Privacy Act, which governs how user data is handled.
