Should We Care About NSA Phone Tracking?
1st June 2015
Hint: No.
Is there any evidence that even a single non-terrorist suffered any bad consequences because of this NSA phone tracking?
Sure there is; why, a piece of the sky hit me on the head!
For the sake of those not paying attention — and I can hardly blame you — the issue is not that the NSA is listening in on people’s phone calls, WHICH IT ISN’T, but rather that they are getting from the phone companies their business information: who called whom, when, and how long they talked. This information is not the property of the telephone subscriber, who has no legitimate privacy interest in it (although a lot of them apparently think they do).
