I love it when people get all "incendiary" about a privacy issue in the post-Snowden world. I really do not understand what your privacy world view was in 2009.

I love it when people get all "incendiary" about a privacy issue in the post-Snowden world. I really do not understand what your privacy world view was in 2009. Did you think governments did not have intelligence agencies? Did you think every government employee was an angel? Did you think F500 companies regarded personal privacy sacrosanct? ?

It turns out there are secret courts, with secret interpretations of laws and indiscriminate mass data-collection. The tin-foil-hat brigade turned out to be right.
