Who the fuck writes an article like this? The Congress is briefed on this shit. It was understood by the general public when the Snowden Leaks came out. Congress has been aware of this happening for easily 20 years why would they want to stop it?

Additionally, Congress works for the MIC and the intelligence community, why does anyone think they would attempt to hobble their efforts? Between FISA, Five Eyes sharing, persistent SIGINT capabilities in the domestic and international supply chain, persistent SIGINT capabilities in the communication industry....

Liberalism is a helluva drug, I fucking swear. These people have no fucking brains
