NSA is combing through voice phone data, and that's totally useless. As depicted in Jack Ryan (communication via an online game), the bad actors will find rather elegant ways to bypass at.

I can embed standard EXIF metadata into an image and send it to someone's facebook wall. You think NSA is looking at that?

It's not that hard.

Since it has GPS coordinates, is in a standardized format, and generated by default on most phones, they probably are.

Doesn’t Facebook strip EXIF data?
