Discuss the collection of data by organizations and governments, and the implication that this activity has been going on for a long time despite being illegal.
They have been collecting data for a long time. You've been ignoring the truth for a long long time. Your doing yourself a disservice if you actually believe it's not currently being done. I rarely agree with you, but your not that stupid. All parties for the last 20+ years have agreed / allowed it. Even if it's illegal, It's still collected.
