That has been going on for decades, actually. What has changed is that people are looking at it.
- seydor 11mo agoNo it has not. europeans have been pro-privacy and very wary of spying until ~2015? Trump 1 was a point when privacy stopped being a priority

The massive shift of communications to digital channels has put mountains of data right there for the grabs, which is extremely attractive for people who want access to all that data.
