Do you mind if the UK, Russian, or Chinese security agencies spy on you? After all that's their job? And by spy I do mean trojan your personal machine and keep you in a database?



Consider me the devils advocate, but wouldn't foreign spy-ing be better than local spying if they can't make use of that data to incriminate you in your daily life?


Better in that sense I agree but not 'good'.


I think that's just inevitable. Do I mind? Yes. Can I personally do anything about it? Probably not a whole hell of a lot.

There are no guarantees that my information is safe from prying eyes. However, I think I'd be much happier if I felt like I could at least trust the people who purport to be on my side. Right now, I do not trust them.
