The surveillance-obsessed/anti-privacy "intelligence" establishments in *all* governments are so fucking stupid and constantly shooting themselves (or at least the national interests & people they're supposed to be protecting) in the foot.

Same as the Chinese hack of US phone system backdoors.

Same as parents putting spyware on their children's devices.

Invading/weakening the privacy of your own people will ALWAYS end up exposing them (and possibly you) to your enemies far more than it benefits you.

@dalias your mistake is thinking their trying to "protect" them in the first place
