This passage makes it sound, first, as if bulk collection homes in on “sensitive” information, namely content from health or employment data bases, and as if this content might somehow come through bulk collection to the attention of people personally known to the data subjects (employers, co-workers) to whom they are sure they do not want to disclose this information. But this way of thinking misses the facts that (a) it is not nosey colleagues or bosses but machines with no human curiosity who are collecting the relevant data,2 (b) counter-terrorism is the purpose of the collection, (c) connections with personal information depend on queries happening to excavate a name from a mountain of data and (d) meta-data rather than content is what has mainly been collected in cases emphasized post-Snowden: telephone meta-data at that. The latter point is worth making because a lot of personal communications meta-data, such as what number reaches a particular named person at a given address, has long been available in public telephone directories available to everyone – without anyone thinking that it is an invasion of privacy.
