Seriously? You're going to argue that "local and long distance toll billing records" justify a headline of "social media"?

I think they will get social media, & it is one thing Leahy emphasized. I don't think it's most important thing they'll get

Not under this amendment at least. Maybe Leahy misremembering ODNI's soc-med clearance policy and related news?

You don't think they could use this to get DM metadata records from Twitter? Of course they will.

No; but they could get Internet Connection Records for a particular Twitter account (i.e. your IP-addr, when you log-in etc).

We'll have to disagree on this. And FWIW, Leahy is not the only one raising social media.
