2. 3 hop chain analysis can fuck you hard

you

hop 1 all your contacts, calls and callers

hop 2 all first hop's contacts, calls, and callers

hop 3 all of the 2nd hop's contacts, calls, and callers

averages out in the US to 2.5 million people and that is JUST PHONE CALLS

add in social media

who knows how many they could dig up if they really wanted to

and there is no limit to how many hops a non US citizen can be subject to

The State Department began requesting social media account information for visa applicants this year. During the Obama administration, submitting social media account information was typically optional. In general, immigration authorities have wide latitude to deny entry to foreign visitors who are not citizens or permanent residents.

If the average person called 40 unique people, three-hop analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspected terrorist.
