> Extrapolating anything serious from it is unwise at best. I suppose but I've seen literally the exact same reaction when I've explained things like this to people in those sorts of terms vs. the terms the news uses. The problem is the "official research" doesn't explicitly state things like that but use it in terms vague enough people really don't believe/understand that the pics they send their lovers are being stored. > http://www.gallup.com/poll/163043/americans-disapprove-government-surveillance-programs.aspx http://www.gallup.com/poll/163043/americans-disapprove-gover... Posing the question like that has serious biases because people really and genuinely do not understand the implications. We need official research that is clear, concise, and written in a manner where the connections are obvious. Official research that relies on statements/questions that are vague enough to be heavily biased by the sources of the media the person consumes is valueless, honestly.
