(894 posts)when i am not a person of interest, and who's looking at it? who knows. fisa courts don't HAVE to give permission to view them. Is this the first time we found out that EVERYONE's activity have been dragnetted on an ongoing basis? that was news to me. It's a problem when the u.s. gov't is requiring telecommunications companies to hand over all of it. and getting up in arms about it now that finally people are paying attention, actually kinda works in both of our favors if we didn't like it in whatever scale we believed it was going on in the first place. infact, the cat that's out of the bag, that EVERYONE'S activity is being stored on an ongoing basis, let's find out exactly how many. But the admin is not willing to say. Now's the time to be upset about it and demand it. does that mean it's a scandal because people are demanding it right now? of course not, we just found out it's millions of us.
(Not sure how many people here believe that their phone calls are being monitored, i've seen maybe 2 people say that out of 100's. Well, unless you're calling someone out of the country, then it's questionable).
