The Obama administration on Thursday defended its collection of the telephone records of millions of Americans as part of U.S. counterterrorism efforts, re-igniting a fierce debate over privacy even as it called the program critical to warding off an attack.

The admission came after Britain's Guardian newspaper published on Wednesday a secret court order authorizing the collection of phone records generated by millions of Verizon Communications customers.

After last week's reports that Internet companies are allegedly collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) and letting it wiretap foreign users' communications, Google is taking a step forward.

It seems that the Feds know everything about all of us.

Are you guys worried about this?

Let's get a little discussion going.

Not too worried , but not right at all !!! But I do think some people might catch a bad one off that . I guess it all depends on what they can pin on somebody since technically they are only supposed to be looking for terrorists . But I guess they can twist anything to their advantage ..... BTW , I don't keep up with the news ... It helps to keep my stress level down .

I have a lot of very pissed off friends right now. They are genuinely paranoid about this whole thing. I suppose that's probably cuz they got skeletons in their closet. But don't we all to some degree? Fact is, our skeletons are nothing, they aren't worried about us little guys they only care about the worst case scenario guys. Supposedly, they gather the info only pertinent to what relates to terrorist key words and nothing more.

Honestly, I'm not too worried about it at all. They probably stopped a number of planned Terrorist attacks because of information they gathered through these means and you know damn well that they found the Boston bombers because of the same "big brother watching" methods. I don't believe plain Jane and average Joe citizen are entitled to know everything the government does to protect our asses.

I make a living out of Internet security, so I'm well aware there's always someone who can get at your data, not just here but from anywhere in the world. Personal data is sacred but really nothing is sacred. Everything you ever did has already been done and WTF cares?
