As Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided cannot stand, so why should we as a country? I know the official reasoning is to catch criminals, but the vast majority of evil-doers aren't stupid enough to post "I just killed someone durr" on Facebook or Twitter. Besides, most of the people who actually support the Five Eyes Act seem to think that, somehow, there is some machine that filters out anything not related to terrorism/selling drugs/(insert crime here). The NSA looks through EVERYTHING. Phone calls, internet history, even conversations in places with security cameras. No one is safe, nothing is safe from the net. Yes, even that time you clicked on "Rosie O'Donnell naked" just to see what it looked like. Your pr0n habits, your personal info, anything. Hell, even this post could be being watched by an NSA worker at this moment. I say join the fight against mass data collection. Unless you like the virtual equivalent of someone walking behind you at all times, taking notes on everything you do, that's fine.
