    Do you feel better that the NSA is spying on Canadians while Canadians spy on US citizens and the two countries exchange what they have on each other’s citizens?

    but then,

    do we need another traitor to hand over classified data to foreign adversaries to make you aware of it?

    Government doing it in secret vs a citizen exposing it? I’m going to back my fellow citizen in this one.

    This is happening because it’s the job of the NSA to gather data for intelligence purposes. They will sponge up any data they can legally obtain. And if you agree to data being shared with third parties, you’ve agreed that the data can be shared with the NSA. So it is.

    That’s some serious bootlicking there, you think they’re only collecting “legally” obtained information? Let’s also gloss over the anti-consumer practices that companies employ to obtain that sweet third party data on you.

    “you’ve agreed that the data can be shared with the NSA. So it is.” - JFC you have some weird logic going on in your head. Let’s just forget what’s required in today’s society, the data that has to be shared to perform basic functions like employment now adays. The average citizen is not a privacy expert and no one is educated in K-12 to be consensual informed.

      Your “fellow citizen” is a citizen of Russia. Ya think he’s going to expose all the data collection Russia is doing? LOL

      Let’s also gloss over the anti-consumer practices that companies employ to obtain that sweet third party data on you.

      Indeed. Everyone glosses that over because it’s considered acceptable for every scumbag marketing person to know everything about you so they can manipulate you into buying shit you don’t need. That’s fine as long because you’re too paranoid over the NSA to give a shit about the fact that privacy doesn’t even exist anymore. You’re data is so boring to the NSA it gets filtered out with one pass of an algorithm. The marketing companies are data mining the shit out of your data.

      There’s no such thing as privacy now, the only thing Snowden accomplished was compromising intel which Russia rewarded him for. Dude is a straight up traitor.
