Barely even a reform. All this does is move metadata collection to cell companies; the NSA, FBI etc. can still access it as much as they want.

They're using this same reform argument in the UK - or "modernization", is the keyword being used. British people naturally tend to be more trusting of our goverment, or so it seems at least. Strange since quite a significant number of us have to study 1984 in school.
