The EU has not been caught spying on everyone.
- jkaplowitz 9y agoGCHQ (UK), BND (Germany), France's equivalent (I forget the name), and others I am probably unaware of have been caught doing pretty widespread surveillance. So, technically not the EU, but multiple EU countries.
- nkkollaw 9y agoI doubt you can compare that to the NSA, but sure.
- jkaplowitz 9y agoAt least GCHQ is more comparable than you'd think, and they and NSA often work closely together.
- AFNobody 9y agoGCHQ (UK), BND (Germany), BRGE/Directorate for Internal Security/Directorate for External Security (France) have been spying similarly and engaging in information sharing with the US. The UK, France, and several other EU countries have passed internal surveillance laws that are as bad or worse than the US.
