How is that distinction relevant? I want my data not to be with NSA as much as I want it not to be with hackers or marketers. In some ways, even moreso.
It's relevant because the vast majority of people living in the U.S. are far more comfortable with the NSA having this data than hackers. Policies are rarely made for outliers, and in this case, you are an outlier.
I'd rather have a hacker have 100% of my info than the NSA.
A hacker can steal my identity and drain my bank account.I can survive that, and I can defend myself by being careful.
The NSA can arrange to have me blackmailed, my reputation destroyed, or even killed, and they are confirmed to do this to people in an industrial fashion.
Whether I agree with you or not, my point is merely that your position is vastly in the minority. People broadly trust the NSA more than random hackers.
