This is a big issue with the CIA tool leaks. The really interesting part is who they're using the tools against and how often; the tools themselves, devoid of context, aren't really very interesting. If they're using this to track a dozen intelligence officials in Saudi Arabia, it's very different optics from if they're using this to track, say, tens of thousands of "red-flagged" families in the US. (Especially since the CIA technically shouldn't be performing any sort of surveillance within the US.) The NSA leaks, or at least part of them, were a much bigger deal because they revealed warrantless, widespread, persistent drag-net surveillance of US citizens. So far, the CIA leaks have not revealed anything relating to surveillance of US citizens or even any civilians living anywhere. The CIA may very well (still) be evil, but these leaks do not even begin to prove it, so far.
