Much like the “every device is tapped” heuristic of security, There’s a simple heuristic for data:

If you create data anywhere, assume some govt will eventually get a copy

In reality that data will sit there unreviewed in 99.9999% of cases.

Just hope you’re not in that 0.0001%

I have a hunch that we've been giving these agencies too much credit this whole time

Every time there's an unmitigated act of terror makes me think: the intelligence community is either malicious (a crazy rabbit hole to go down) or incompetent

And also there's the problem of searching, like finding a needle in an ocean
