It’s pretty well known that government databases getting abused for personal motives is actually pretty common.
AP did a report on this and while public records of this are limited, they still found about 300 cases of database abuse from 2013 through 2015.

John Oliver even did a thing on this, people don’t care about “metadata”, but ask them if they should be able to see your dick pics and people care a lot more

Well, no because the story is so obviously fake on its face that no one but the most credulous of suckers could fall for it.
Bipta@kbin.social 1 year ago
The only thing that makes this obviously fake is that it claims she downloaded them from people's phones, rather than from some centralized NSA data store... And the idea an NSA employee would be held accountable publicly and cause bad PR.
