You are entitled to your opinion and I do not entirely disagree. However, I do believe that the US should not be the only powerful nation that does not engage in foreign spying. That puts us at a disadvantage in today's world.

Other countries are spying on the US and the US is spying on other countries - that's the state of things right now. Let's not pretend the US is doing something other nations are not.



There is a difference between targeting spying and collecting data indiscriminately just because it happens to be routed through a server within US jurisdiction.


Okay but what does that have to do with what I said? Again, this is not something that only the United States is doing.


It related (IMHO anyway) in the sense that the amount of energy, paranoia, and money poured into this is fairly unique to the US.
