      Seriously with the budget they have and numerous existing legal holes in the 4th Amendment, they just went and threw money to whoever could and would sell metadata to get every last crumb of information? At what point should the comparisons to the Stasi become incredibly concerning to the average individual?

      So not only do they spy on you, but you’re also indirectly paying for it through taxes
