When President Obama said that the phone surveillance program ‘isn’t about’ ‘listening to your telephone calls,’ he was deflecting attention from the terrifying fact that there’s nothing currently stopping the government from amassing and data-mining every scrap of metadata in the world about us. He made it sound like metadata spying isn’t a big deal, when it’s pretty much the golden ticket.”
