USA carries out mass surveillance (dragnet). It spies not on special foreign targets of interest but on every human being using electronic communications on this planet. Which means that only those who use smoke signals and pigeons have their privacy.

It is what Nazis did during WWII and what Stasi did in the ex DDR. Back then, the world - especially the so called "free world" - was appalled. And they did it "only" to their citizens.

It is not scary. I wanted to put it mildly. It is rogue!
