This is patently untrue. Snowden and much more have made it absolutely, unambiguously clear that national spy agencies do wish to gather and collect absolutely and every bit of information possible about their own law-abiding citizens as well as those here that are not.

Could you cite anything supporting that?

I followed the Snowden leaks quite closely, but don’t remember anything close to unambiguously showing that.

The PRISM program alone shows the NSA's intent to collect as much information as possible. This in conjunction with the Utah Data Center makes it pretty aparrent what the goal was.
