Naughty, naughty to be sure…

NSA Said to Collect Millions of Verizon Phone Records - Bloomberg:

"Privacy-rights advocates issued swift protests upon learning of the Guardian report, calling the data collection an intrusion on millions of innocent Americans. The American Civil Liberties Union called for the Obama administration to halt the program and disclose its scope and asked Congress to investigate."

…although it is perhaps worth noting that millions of people (very possibly including a number of privacy-rights advocates) voluntarily disclose much more personal information to Google every day. Not to mention Facebook. (Granted the key word here is "voluntarily." But the key question is "who really cares?")
