Right. But it's not like they're going to "just" announce that.
"Hey everyone - so yeah, we're using all your data you're willingly providing all these apps on your phone, like location, contacts, camera...So thanks for helping...Okay, bye!".
But you're right. Every day there is so much information from the spies we carry around with us as they communicate that it'd be unfathomable they're just "ignoring" all of this information.
The chances are in some privacy policy it says they can share that data with their "partners" which silently gets back to the government.
Just use what you already have, what we already know you have, and if it saves lives then at least it was put to good use.
