    Yeah, it kinda is, whether you think so or not. Any spying that involves warrantless collection of citizens data is a 1984 style surveillance program, nevermind that there are literally NSA programs to do this very thing to spy directly on all citizens just cuz, what if they’re terrorists or something?

    The whole apparatus is disgusting, and I’m surprised to see people defending it in any sense at all.

      Don’t confuse “this isn’t literally 1984” with defense of the program
