It's one thing to ask (which is very welcomed), but it's another thing to put your literal money where your mouth is. Where's the influx of capital to EFF and other entities challenging the US govt legally? Where's the funds going to legislative lobbying that's on par with other large industries?



Exactly. If this is such a slam dunk 4th Amendment case (I don't think it is), then all you need is enough money to hire the lawyers to get it up through the courts. That's a figure in the millions, not the billions.

Or to put it another way, a small fraction of the amount of money the tech community spent to elect the guy who could end any of these programs and/or fire those responsible with a phone call.
