Totally agree regards Obama, it's more the timing of this, which links it to Trump. I see it as something Hilary Clinton would likely have done too (though probably not with immediate effect like Trump). Gagging orders mean we will never know.
We have definitely crossed the fundamental line between very limited surveillance to protect from real harm, to obsessive mass surveillance to control, manipulate and corrupt and above all make money for those with access to this knowledge, who strangely seem to keep their Privacy.
