This is STILL just the tip of the iceberg. I really hope the whistle blowers continue to release details of more and more of these secret programs. If people think this is as bad as it gets they're in for quite a shock. Call metadata, all your private files, and the people you stalk on Facebook are nothing.
How about access to your laptop's webcam and microphone? How about the two cameras and the microphone on the smartphone you carry with you everywhere? How about the exact GPS location of your phone every minute of the day? How about aggregating the CCTV and traffic camera footage with facial recognition to give a full video/audio recording of you everywhere you go every day? How about all of your credit card purchases aggregated, plotted on map, used to determine your habits?
