Nobody claimed anyone broke any laws. He claimed that the NSA spies on american citizens and that it is better to have an honest job.
The fact that it is legal for them to do this is the problem, obviously.
- willstrafach 9y agoThat is absolutely not legal though, which is why I asked for a citation, as it would be pretty big news.
- stale2002 9y agoIt WAS big news. It was called the Snowden leaks. For example, the government argues to this day that it is ok to do drag net collection of phone meta data. Having access to every single person that you have called, counts as spying in my book, even if they aren't listening in to the conversations specifically.
- willstrafach 9y agoThe comment was present tense. I certainly agree with you regarding previous handling of phone metadata, among other issues such as secret interpretations of law, but I was satisfied by changes/fixes made in the USA Freedom Act[1]. What current issue are still outstanding which you believe need to be addressed? (Serious, I like to learn and would be great to know if I am missing something).
