It is a problem, but the United States NSA is currently the biggest offender in that department. Let's start out by not doing it to ourselves.

The US passively spying on 300,000,000 > China actively spying on [and suppressing] 1,300,000,000. What a wacky world.

I was referring to China's efforts to compromise systems in the US, not their (dismal) domestic human-rights record. The point: we shouldn't be collecting and concentrating the private communications of American citizens in a giant data center – it's provided no proven protective value, and is a huge glowing target for foreign espionage (corporate and/or governmental).
