- mrtksn 1y agoThat's also the default mode in countries like Russia, Turkey etc. No one bothers you %99.9 of the times, these countries don't have the capacity to enforce total control. With the spread of the internet, things changed a bit and people had realized that they must watch what they say online but it's still based on incidents, i.e. if your tweets go viral you go to jail. Otherwise, no one cares. carry on. US wants total control, they don't want to be in full know. It's in line with their intelligence gathering practices, it's the American way apparently.
