    Best thing Trump’s ever done, if his team can do it.

    Five eyes is why your government legally has real time data on everything you’re doing regardless of local privacy laws.

      Exactly.

      They’re not spying on their own citizens, that would be illegal. They’re simply allowing other countries to spy on you (legal) and then they “share” data with each other.

      The net result is every FVEY agency doing an end run around laws that exist to prevent government intelligence from spying on its own citizens.

      Add in data brokers who buy all your data stolen by Facebook and Google and re-package it for sale and Big Brother can have all of the data that they would get from spying on you without being bothered by silly laws that prevent them from spying on you (they didn’t, the UK did).
