“A private individual referring to iPhone customers as ‘zombies’ is one thing. The NSA doing it is quite another. People who don’t take an active effort to protect their information are being labeled as sub-human by a government agency. If these smartphones users don’t care about the data they’re leaking, then they really don’t have an ‘expectation of privacy’ to be steamrolled. That’s the argument. As Der Spiegel puts it, the agency is arguing that the smartphone-buying public is ‘complicit in its own surveillance.’  But they aren’t, as one recent decision on acquiring cell phone location data without a warrant pointed out.”
