Hm. I don't know. The vibe that I get from talking to the people around me is that spying happens among enemies and prospective enemies. And being downgraded into the prospective enemies category comes with a bit of emotional trauma for us Europeans.

But what does that make us? Are we now the bitter EX of the US?

Spying happens among friends at least as often as among enemies and prospective enemies. Maybe even more so, because it is commonly used for back-channel diplomacy.

No your governments are getting the data as well.
