    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.

          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.
