Do people not know this? No ones heard of project echelon and the Five Eyes? Not to even mention the numerous other programs each of these countries have for monitoring. Every tech device you own monitors you and every cloud service has a back door.

It's kind of sad since this kinda data could be used to prevent harm to people.
