> The privacy Americans previously enjoyed came for free

Which privacy are you talking about. I feel like you have some idea in mind, but that statement can be read numerous ways.

>>HWR_14+(OP)
For starters not having all our communications scraped into a data center in Utah

Hasn't the government been collecting telecommunications metadata since at least the origin of the phone?

>>HWR_14+aW1
No. Is this a defense of the NSA’s illegal dragnet surveillance of American communications?

That data center isn’t there because they ran out of space for CDRs.

>>user39+J33
I'm not defending anything that is currently happening. I'm asking what privacy in the past do you think existed?
