This has not much to do with NATO, but much more with Five Eyes [0]. You either with 'em or you are one of their targets.

Out of curiosity: Do you have any evidence for France spying on Boing and passing it on to Airbus? I mean, where's France's equivalent of ECHELON? [1]

Especially in the context of US dominance of the social media sphere, it's hard to imagine any other country having similar access and capabilities to the US's.
