 "U.S. citizens have historically been protected from government surveillance by technical limits, not legal ones, writes independent security researcher Ashkan Soltani at MIT Tech Review. 

He claims that recent leaks show that technical limits are loosening, fast, with data storage and analysis cheap and large Internet services taking care of data collection for free.

 'Spying no longer requires following people or planting bugs, but rather filling out forms to demand access to an existing trove of information,' writes Soltani."

 SpicyBrownMustard sends in a fascinating data visualization at Zeit Online showing what information about a person's life can be gleaned from cellphone metadata.

 Quoting:

"Green party politician Malte Spitz sued to have German telecoms giant Deutsche Telekom hand over six months of his phone data that he then made available to ZEIT ONLINE.

As for the NSA their surveillance of Americans is far more dangerous to our country than any terrorist.

 Terrorists might kill a couple hundred or a thousand people, but the NSA can archive every single one of our activities and provide it to a government that may not be so friendly in another 10 or 20 years.

 Can you say genocide?

 Ideocide?
