which have been well-documented elsewhere and are arguably just as alarming; along with their backroom congressional lobbying for even looser restrictions on what data they collect and what they do with it...For the life of me I cannot understand why there has been so much resistance to having a discussion on the topic...Even Snowden/Greenwald have repeatedly said it's a non-issue, which beggars belief, to be honest...
