What hurts me is that people are acting surprised that spy agencies are spying on people. Their job is to collect intelligence. If they can read your emails, they will.

Their job most certainly isn't mass surveillance of civilian populations. If they thought it was, they need to be disbanded.

No one is saying that at all. I am amazed that people still do not understand the problem.

And that really hurts, hurts us all.

And I'm surprised they need to at least respect the law of the nation they are working over.

Also I'm surprised people are acting like the being a corporate scumbag is something weird. Corporate scumbags are by their very definition corporate scumbags and must behave scumbaggy.

But should they do so without oversight and without limits?
