Everything that is technically exploitable will be exploited, I prefer to be cautious rather than live in a bubble and assume that powerful entities will care for my concerns.
And by the way, IANAL, but the collecting of data was not technically illegitimate, right?

- bediger4000 13y agoHard to say, until someone gets indicted. The courts in the USA have traditionally limited themselves to letting someone with "standing" sue over a particular law, or letting law enforcement charge someone. There's no real way to pre-emptively say "illegal" on some law or action. If one branch of the Federal Government doesn't prosecute members of another branch, we've got no way to say.
- rhizome 13y agoIn that case, "we don't know." Seems laws and court findings should be written down somewhere, though, right? To ensure the US continues to be a nation of laws and not of men? http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/09/18/by-secret-law-did-they-mean-not-written-down/ http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/09/18/by-secret-law-did-they-...
