gollark: What, so gathering everyone's data is better than one person's?!
gollark: I mean, "spying on most things sent over global communications" does *sound* pretty much like "unreasonable search".
gollark: Yes, and we will get to watch as it's upheld as somehow *not* being unreasonable.

gollark: ```The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.```This fourth amendment thingy does sound slightly relevant.
