Wyden is clearly not a fan of this labeling, which he described as a &amp;quot;made up designation with no basis in law.&amp;quot; CUI was created by an executive order from President Obama in 2010.&lt;p&gt;This is the bigger problem. Classified documents have a mandatory declassification date that is only overridden in special circumstances. CUI can last indefinitely because it&amp;#x27;s an extra-legal construction designed to stay outside the classification system.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>No new boss at NSA until it answers questions on buying location, browsing data</title><url>https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/02/nsa_held_hostage/</url></story>

It does mean the NSA will either need to satisfy Wyden&amp;#x27;s request, or Congress will need to hold a procedural vote to push through the confirmation.&lt;p&gt;So, the most probable outcome is that this will delay the process for a few weeks at most until congress just pushes it through. At least it shines a bit light on the whole charade. Not that it makes much of a difference for me, since I&amp;#x27;m not an US citizen, but imho the easiest and best solution would be to stop private companies from gobbling up and selling private data. But that would mean going against companies and we can&amp;#x27;t have that now, can we?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>No new boss at NSA until it answers questions on buying location, browsing data</title><url>https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/02/nsa_held_hostage/</url></story>
