  I think most countries spie on their citizens and a lot of the same countries probably don’t want other countries doing the same due to possible unwanted intel leaks in government and corporate sectors.

      Not saying it is okay. Pointing out that even if hypocritical there’s generally a strategic reason for countries to deter international spying. Would be quite a puzzling decision for any country to provide an open door other countries to spy on them.

        What makes you think this’ll deter international spying?

      I’m certainly not OK with it.

  NSA? Notice how fast the Trump shooter’s phone was access? Gotta have those backdoors for spying.

    The funny thing is, that whole thing just proved that the spying didn’t work. Trump was still almost killed. So the spying and mass surveillance did still not prevent that.

    I guess they should stop violating everybody’s privacy, but obviously they don’t care.

  On the other hand if the number keeps going down it helps strengthen hope that it can go down to 0. When these things happen some apparatus gets left behind on how to do it a again for rogue actors inside the country too.
