    Yes. The answer to this isn’t to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people’s privacy being a legally tradable commodity.

      Most people don’t have any concept why their privacy matters.

      And until something awful happens to them, they aren’t interested in learning it either.

          The awful things haven’t happened to most people yet

        Most people aren’t interested in learning anything, which was a hard realization to come to as an adult.

          I felt so lied to when I left high school, having been told my entire life that people eventually grow up…. And now I’m 40ish and they really don’t.

      I fully agree with that.
