    "Metadata" means records about your private activities and associations. It's an activity dossier. The novelty is in the lack of warrants.

        @Snowden Edward, it depends. It's technically "data about data". What that data (and data) is drives the definition deeper.

        @Snowden What most don't get is loophole allowing firms to match hashed PII, then exchange activity records, w/o technically "sharing PII".

        @Snowden So if two sites say "Nowden-say" to each other w/pig latin hashing, they haven't technically shared Personally Identifiable Info.

        @Snowden Even pharmacies, Walgreens & CVS, are selling prescription drug activity using this "hashed PII" loophole. Govt could buy it too.
