Which doesn't seem like a good thing...now other countries' citizens can be getting THEIR personal info scooped up and kept in a data base...just like was done to US citizens by Cambridge Analytica. Gee, wonder who pulled strings to get them THAT CONTRACT? Notice the article brings up Flynn's name. Happened on his short watch, apparently. You have to wonder will any world wide data collected make it's way to Putin's inbox if he decides to target a country/leader. All he needs to do is give Trump a call and have the State Dept activate this collection program.
