Mass surveillance is extremely bad idea. Period. I also have a problem with invoking national security thing, gag orders and its classified response to block any further digging, which is abuse of power. Democracy is supposed to be a form of government where the government is accountable to people. But I don't see a way to hold it accountable or to correct its ways for some things I really want changed. Take for instance those responsible for mass surveillance lying under oath to congress. Where the hell is accountability? Could the system be improved? Yes. Is it going to be improved in near future? Not really. In the far future then, may be? May be. By that time I can't imagine what state of affairs we will find ourselves in.
