Hero or devil's spawn, I don't give a shit. It's massive expansion of surveillance

122. I am not OK with this

I am partially blind, but that has nothing to do with this, thank you very much. I know industry data mines all the time, but that's a big false equivalence. It's not used to prosecute or persecute anyone and what the government's doing is for that purpose. If you give up privacy for liberty you will end up with neither - to paraphrase an old wise saying. the governmenet isn't just tracking numbers, they are also keeping content as well. A few years ago it came out that the FBI was listening in on domestic only phone calls just for the purient value, nothing about national security. Do you think that isn't still going on? It's been leaked out from the security committee that the data mining is just the tip of the iceberg. I do not want the government to read my texts, emails or listen to my phone converstions.
