> But the idea that we are somehow "out of reach of the NSA" is definitely not one of them. Sure, we're not actively collaborating with them, as many US businesses are, but as we've said before: we just assume the pipes going into and out of our major network exchange points are being vacuumed en masse.
Maybe easydns isn't, but the Telcos are definitely collaborating. We've had intercept equipment directly under the control of CSIS installed in major datacenters since the early 2000s. (I really do mean CSIS, not CSEC.)
I've seen it myself and I have multiple sources with direct, first hand knowledge of it.
None of them are interested in coming forward though, and I have no proof to offer myself.
What would necessitate cooperation of easydns anyway? They can't possibly get transit or peer with anyone of significance in Canada that doesn't have the surveillance equipment installed, so I don't see why any of the spooks would bother contacting them.
