WHY WOULD THE FBI SEIZE A DOMAIN FROM NEUSTAR?

 

>>1289067

>Neustar, Inc

This might be the BRIDGE to DATA COLLECTION

 

Companies such as Neustar, Yaana Technologies, and Subsentio contract with smaller providers and reap the profits from charging federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies for the data. Neustar and Yaana are also essentially private intelligence companies, providing large-scale data capture and analytics (though probably not on the scale of NSA’s Xkeyscore.) Neustar is also in the phone number portability business, and owns a number of the new top level domains approved by ICANN.
