The CIA & NSA admitted that they kill people by gathering and using metadata.

This is a serious claim that you just gloss over. I don't doubt that they do those things, but I'd still like to see the source for them publicly admitting it.

This is well sourced and known:

in April 2014, at a symposium at Johns Hopkins University, General Michael Hayden, a former director of both the CIA and the NSA, said this: “We kill people based on metadata”. He then qualified that stark assertion by reassuring the audience that the US government doesn’t kill American citizens on the basis of their metadata. They only kill foreigners.

from this source, but a google search will give you many others.

And I believe there was a tweet somewhere, if I find it, I'll link it.
