Their reasoning about getting around the law is that if it’s commercially available, it isn’t government surveillance. And I can’t really argue with that. It’s immoral but it’s not illegal.
Our bill of rights really should extend to digital data by default… Technology is so integrated into our lives our phones and computers should be treated as our personal offices with your own property. I feel like grabbing our data from us from our personal spaces challenges the fourth amendment.

Well, we could pass a law, or even ammendment, that defines a kind of bill of rights for digital data privacy.
But that would require a functioning, non corrupt government.
Which would have required countermanding Citizens United with something similar.
But nope, instead we have a corrupt system that cannot be fixed from the inside, that now is just openly, nakedly corrupt and arbitrary.
