    Their core mission is to vacuum up every single communication they can. They’re going to be getting or trying to get that data- and they don’t need a warrant to buy it. It’s not your data. It’s google’s or Microsoft’s or whoever’s data about you.

    You want to solve the problem- the real problem- then you need to focus on privacy and data transparency laws.

    It seems weird to be stuck on how they’re paying for it. (Would you prefer they tap into the CIA’s cocaine proceeds?)(or maybe you’d prefer they use seized crypto?)

    Solving the first solved the other. Solving the other… changes… nothing…
