    “Turning into” lol. The USA and all their partner countries like the ones in the 5 Eyes program have all been mass techno-surveillance states for decades.

      The 5 eyes countries are not allowed to spy on their own citizens, but they can freely share data.

      Isn’t there an obvious loophole here.

        It’s almost like it was by design.

        They also just spy on their own citizens anyway, because who is going to stop them?
