    Sure, the alphabet agencies aren’t allowed to spy directly on US citizens, but they share spy data with the other five eyes countries who are spying on us. They also get it straight from the big tech companies and ISPs. Using a VPN might bring attention to you from the gov’t, but you’re already being spied on.

      They don’t even need to do all that, plenty of people will download whatever the government tells them to, and when you add that to all the data databrokers (not just big tech companies) have and collect on the average American, it’s pretty obvious that they don’t need to even ask Google or Meta et al for that data. Your cell phone company is selling your location data. The average person isn’t gonna bother to try to obfuscate that data.
