Nice whataboutism.

While I agree China/Russia has the intent, but do they have the ability to conduct wiretapping on this scale? It sounds like the US is uniquely able to do this since so much of the internet's backbones/services reside here.





Thanks for the link. Doesn't seem to address my contention that the US has unique levels of access. I assume that all countries spy on their own citizens, but NSA is uniquely positioned to get traffic at a global scale.


That article has details about their implementation Nationwide. It's very similar to the CALEA requirements in the US.


Please read my posts carefully before responding. You are talking at, not to me.
