Good thing that all of the giant monolithic internet companies that the NSA will be using for surveillance are used exclusively by Americans. The NSA isn’t interested in foreign intel anyway. /s
These monolithic internet companies all have entities in other countries and are beholden to laws of said countries.
It’s true, people living in Russia and China will safe from this.
The NSA violates the laws of the US. What makes you think they care about other countries’ laws?
They don’t. They actively work with them to bypass all legal anti-mass-surveillance frameworks in place.
If you think you’re safe from the global internet surveillance dragnet just because you don’t live in the US, then boy do I have some news for you.
