#4So we can't dragnet surveil our own people? Hmm, how about we just buy it from the folks who do it for work? Then _we're_ not doing it. _We're_ just buying a bundle of data from a broker.
Couple this with the idea that we soft-spy on our Allies and then trade that data for their spying on our people and yeah, wow.

#8Over 30y I've learned that surveillance overreach by Govs never stops or even slows down. Only reporting by the press does.
I'm hoping that a historically overt, abusive administration will kick news orgs out of their default complacency - and that they'll take surveillance seriously again. For a time.
That said, I am sympathetic that mental bandwidth is a real issue ATM.

#10The mighty CIA, unable to protect the military industrial complex. Until further notice, the spy agencies do nothing but rainmaking the American public.
