A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Why the fuck is everyone acting like this is new information. Did people forget Edward Snowden. US government loves spying on and will do whatever it takes to spy on you harder. Your so called rights are a sham. The US government will ignore them when it's convenient for them
Part of it is new, namely them buying the info they might not be able to collect themselves, or, more likely, laziness.
It provides yet another insight in the blatance of it all. Could we have assumed as much? Probably, but it is important slithers of truth keep surfacing.
My favorite are the people that willingly voted for or support the Patriot Act get mad about the "Twitter Files" and other govt overreach...
Like no shit you guys invited this type of stuff in.
Can't the government be taken to court for breaking the constitution?
by who, though? Itself?
There have been <private person> v. United States lawsuits before iirc
