Imagine that every time you make a phone call, someone is keeping an extraordinarily detailed record of the call.

Do people not know this? No ones heard of project echelon and the Five Eyes? Not to even mention the numerous other programs each of these countries have for monitoring. Every tech device you own monitors you and every cloud service has a back door.

And it's not even like they do a good job at it. They just kinda spy at you and then instead of doing something grand and convoluted they go

"eh, let's feed the data to the advertising machine"

It's kind of sad since this kinda data could be used to prevent harm to people.

That's not common knowledge yet?

Every phone is practically a spying device. Artificial intelligence is also currently being developed to be able to process that much data because it's impossible for humans to review it all

Worried about DAS, but not about Google? 🤔 "USA Freedom Act"? They forgot about PRISM? DAS sounds just ISP work for PRISM law. As any USA company is forced to.
