Phone Metadata

The word "metadata" achieved buzzword status in 2013. That's when
whistleblower Edward Snowden leaked documents exposing a National
Security Agency program that collected telephone metadata in bulk --
along with other surveillance schemes deemed unsavory by electronic
rights watchdogs. Since then, metadata collection has been invoked in
court proceedings, innumerable opinion pieces and an Oscar-winning
documentary as one of the most egregious violations of personal
privacy. On Monday, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said
Snowden "performed a public service" -- albeit an "inappropriate and
illegal" one -- by sharing the secrets.
Yet, most people couldn't describe, step-by-step, how metadata are
used to piece together personal secrets.
