- rcMgD2BwE72F 8y agoIf governments / law makers cared, they would react. I remember when the French government learnt that all the top officials of the country where tapped by the NSA, including the President (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionnage_de_l%27%C3%89lys%C3%A9e_par_la_NSA https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionnage_de_l%27%C3%89lys%C3...). France did absolutely nothing.
