    So we’re completely forgetting the entire Ed Snowden thing? It didn’t stop when Snowden blew that whistle. The EFF and ACLU have been fighting it, and the NSA is still trying to stop congress from doing anything to stop it.

    But sure, I’m a conspiracy nut job, thinking that my data would be anything but a drop in the ocean of pretty worthless data they’re collecting. I’m pretty sure my old Xiaomi Note phone is currently informing higher ups in the communist party that I’m playing CoD yet again, and I’m not very good at it. If they want to fill up data centers with petabytes of peoples mundane lives, go for it, waste your money keeping those facilities open and staffed, and waste your time finding out that most people don’t give a shit about chinese foreign policy and believe that Taiwan is number one, and also a sovereign nation in it’s own right.
