I don't know anything about GCHQ, but I don't want British intelligence to have intimate details about my life stored in some nosql database, and I see it as an offensive maneuver by a foreign government from which my government fails to protect me. See my reply to tptacek's post sibling to yours for a general response to your inquiry.
- tptacek 13y agoWell, they do. Just like Russia and China. I agree it's offensive. Now what? Next you'll tell me governments routinely have foreigners killed.
- coldtea 13y ago>Well, they do. Just like Russia and China. I seriously doubt that. Russia, for example, could not care less about 99.9% of western citizens (whereas for western spying agencies, those are potential dissidents to be kept on check). And even if they cared, what exactly would they do with that information? It's not like they are particularly powerful, imperialist or try to play global cop (post USSR). It's also not like they arrange puppet politicians and governments in foreign countries, as western powers are known to do.
