Obama’s NSA collects 200 million text messages every day

Obama’s NSA has been busy while he and wifey were vacation in Hawaii. Obama’s NSA has been collecting 200 million text messages per day in untargeted sweeps. This means the Obama NSA (now called DishFish) isn’t only going after so called terrorists. They are targeting EVERYONE, everywhere.
The Guardian:

The National Security Agency has collected almost 200 million text messages a day from across the globe, using them to extract data including location, contact networks and credit card details, according to top-secret documents.
The untargeted collection and storage of SMS messages – including their contacts – is revealed in a joint investigation between the Guardian and the UK’s Channel 4 News based on material provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The documents also reveal the UK spy agency GCHQ has made use of the NSA database to search the metadata of “untargeted and unwarranted” communications belonging to people in the UK.
The NSA program, codenamed Dishfire, collects “pretty much everything it can”, according to GCHQ documents, rather than merely storing the communications of existing surveillance targets.
