(34,845 posts)Yes, the metadata collection has been going on for a long time. It has been known since 2006 or so. So what? Has anyone been harmed by this? Not one person. You want it stopped? Talk to Congress. Although it sounds like some of the circuit courts or whatever (and even Congress now) are trying to put a stop to it.
All this effort and worry over something that might someday be a danger to some unknown person or persons.
You know what you will have if this is stopped? A victory over an imaginary fear.
More power to you. I'm only pointing out that there are more real victories to be won. Phantom victories -'paper' victories, if you will- are not so impressive.
