They're reading everyone's shit, yet still can't do jack to stop actual bad guys. Just goes to show that when you sacrifice liberty for security you only lose both.
My guy, they use computers, they target and monitor. They don't have the time to watch the average teenager want to porn. It's all just computers. Take it easy on the conspiracy cookies. If you got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.

There's no tinfoil hat involved. Everything from Watergate to the PATRIOT act to Snowdin should have told us as much. Privacy is dead, and now the powers that be are so busy sorting through illegally collected intel that they forget to investigate the actual bad guys.
As for that last bit, you don't need to be a bad guy to get fucked. If you simply want to change something, or make an enemy of someone in power, then they have your entire life at their fingertips.
But it's for national security. How cam you ask for privacy when they will also give the bad people privacy? They just look for key words. You can't ask for complete privacy because then no one is safe.
For national security? That's the rationale that brings gulags, secret police, internment camps, witch hunts, and every fundamental right being undermined. For the greater good my ass.
