I am torn with this. If used per the law, it's a good thing. If you aren't doing illegal shite, then no worries. However, our lovely govt loves to abuse powers so we cannot trust our govt to be honest about the use of this. Double edged sword

This kind of mass surveillance isn't about stopping terrorism. It will not stop lone wolf attacks inspired by radical Islam. I don't even believe it's primary purpose is stopping illegality. This kind of bulk data collection is there so that those in the intelligence community can conduct opposition research on virtually anybody if need be and control those in elected office based on said information. Everyone on this site has things about themselves they don't want to be made public that aren't illegal. I mean look at Kennedy's vote. He basically came out and said he didn't like the bill because it couldn't be amended as written, but he voted for it anyway. What did they have on him to make him for a bill he didn't like?
