If Erdogan isn't doing this already, he certainly has plans to. As do Putin, Xi, and a load of others. Welcome to our Brave New World.

- marcodiego 5y agoThanks to how big IT companies have tighter ties to developed countries, I wouldn't consider only these governments. Remember the list of companies who participated in PRISM were mostly (only) US-based.
- oleganza 5y ago:eyeroll: Why is it always "them" vs "us"? NSA/CIA are doing probably a better job at global surveillance of everything and everyone, simply based on resources available to them. Every powerful enough government spies on the largest scale they can, because just letting someone else to spy on you and not spy yourself (if you can) would be infinitely foolish. Even at local scale. If citizens could find a way to hold their president on short leash, such president would be more likely to listen to the citizens. But citizens don't have such powers, only presidents do, so they only have to listen to each other.
