Let's say, speaking purely hypothetically, that you've got a teenager or two and you're noticing some attitude changes. You don't want to breach the trust you have spent so long establishing with your kids but you've got a feeling that things aren't quite right. You happen to be an expert hacker who could, if you wanted to, hack your kid's phone and online history with no possibility of being detected but you're a responsible parent and would never stoop to that level of distrust. You choose, instead, to hack the phones and online history of all your kid's friends just to make sure that they aren't causing any trouble. You figure that if your kids friends are OK then your kids are probably OK. Also, if your kid's messages happen to get caught up in the data collection that's not really something you did and, therefore, it's not spying.....right?
Is this some veiled attempt to say that Obama was directly spying on Trump?
