(62,325 posts)were spending hours listening to? They complained about how boring their jobs were, listening to people ordering pizza, planning weddings, talking about their neighbors. Millions of dollars were spent on this. I guess this is why it is called 'meta-data'. Useless information yet important enough to 'store' and 'collect'?? Some contractors made a ton of money doing this though.
I guess this time, rather than bore them to death, they are just 'tracking and storing' it to listen to at some later date or something. Regardless, I don't care if they never listen to it, they have no Constitutional right to collect, store and/or listen to people's 'data' according to the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution. But someone is making huge amounts of money on this.
I will try to follow the money as we have so many times before, and I'm sure we'll find the real reason for all this spying. It sure isn't about 'security' is it? If you believe that, you probably believe in the tooth fairy.
