The NSA has largely accomplished this level of foreign surveillance with the consent of foreign governments. Perhaps if foreign citizens pushed their own government to resist, the NSA would have a harder time getting access to data streams.
- sharpneli 12y agoThis as a great example: http://rt.com/usa/160024-nsa-intercept-bahamas-phone/ http://rt.com/usa/160024-nsa-intercept-bahamas-phone/ I wouldn't exactly call that consent. Sure they got access. But it was not supposed to be that wide nor used for everything. The mistake seemed to be that they accidentally trusted an allied country. But it indeed seems that any collaboration right now with US government is going to mean full NSA access beyond what was originally negotiated. In case of my country the desire not to collaborate with NSA indeed will affect my voting behaviour.
