"We kill people based on metadata." - Former NSA Head Michael Hayden.


Last I heard, the NSA was a governmental agency, not a corporation.


And governments now outsource some of their functions to bigger corporations as a loophole around human rights- mass spying and censorship, for example.


Then let's fight the actual problems - the governments - and stop going after the decoys. Let's make it illegal for government to access and use business data. That will fight the actual problem while allowing businesses to keep serving us better.
