        Metadaten aren't harnless, and NSA knows. As former director of NSA and CIA General Hayden once said: "We kill people based on metadata".

        Metadata is a weapon of mass destruction if given into the wrong hands. NSA should know by now that the Turkish government can't be trusted

        This is against all Turkish laws and constitution though. If gov is not bound by those, meta data or not we are doomed.
