@Dutchess_III It’s not about the need to be worried. It’s about having your privacy completely violated. I have nothing to hide, at all, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t and shouldn’t, completely piss me off.
And why do you put quotations? The NSA flat out admitted to reading people’s personal emails who weren’t, in any way, associated with terrorism, domestic or otherwise. It’s not something that they tried to hide. After a certain point, anyway.
People lose their freedom, bit by bit, when they’re so willing to hand it over. You shouldn’t be okay with anyone reading your emails or potentially tapping your phone, even when you’re innocent.
