It's not illegal if nobody is punished, really. Just naughty. But with no actual repercussions for the people who ordered, and carried out, the illegal surveillance, and no restitution to the people who were violated, it doesn't matter and will of course continue. That's the thing, stuff that's illegal for the government to do usually isn't because there's rarely any accountability.
- awesomeMilou 4y agoIt's still illegal, it's just the same with punishing corporations: The entity in charge is a government agency that, while consisting of real physical people, it itself is just a legal entity without any tangible form. I.e. in the private sector a corporation pays a fine, in the gov sector someone maybe looses their job. But in both cases this doesn't change the work culture whatsoever.
