NSA Collecting Millions of E-Mail Contact Lists And Address Books
 

Calm down, I'm sure the NSA has a perfectly good reason for collecting more than 250 million contact lists and address books from private citizens every year. Our government wouldn't spy on us for no reason, we are all just overreacting. Thanks to TeenK9 for the link. The Washington Post reported late Monday that the spy agency intercepts hundreds of thousands of email address books every day from private accounts on Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook and Hotmail that move though global data links. The NSA also collects about a half million buddy lists from live chat services and email accounts.
