The great news is that the Patriot Act is bound to expire unless someone wants to extend it as an illegal excuse to continue that unauthorized data collection bullshit. Even the watered down USA Freedom Act was recently rejected as well that the people in the US get more privacy by the time we reach June 1st. However, this is not the time for victory yet as some extension excuses are like still intact or something. What else is affected is the Google Play. The motives are likely to be the same just to detect North Africa, Russia and Cuba for something destructive just like many other services. But then, we already know that things have already gone way too far and it may be why many other foreign nations and tech companies are concerned about those illegal technical actions. Also, those motives mentioned above were part of the XKeyscore. The proper talk about the motives that affect Google Play is about the Network Tradecraft Advancedment Team which is the advanced unit that comprises of analysts from all "Five Eyes" at a series of workshops that took place between Australia and Canada.
Again, this is unspeakably illegal and going too far like it's not the proper and decent way to protect people like us from anything that poses a serious threat to whatever nation you're living in. There has to be a real protective way to protect us through security while respecting our own rights and privacy as well. Hell, even the Samsung App Store for Android is infected by that same situation as well. Alternatively, you can sideload Android apps or perhaps install them from alternative app stores.
