With everything that that Edward Snowden has revealed such as security services spying on their partners and abusing their abilities, spying on peoples communications when there is no probable cause to suspect them of any crime, around intimate photos couples send to each other online.sn't it unreasonable for them to be spying on us en masse?
Terrorism is a threat to the country but it shouldn't be used as an excuse to violate the privacy of innocent people, especially when it's never helped prevent terrorism. Even if it did, would surrendering our privacy completely be worth it? Give up our rights so that terrorists can't take them away seems a bit pointless. Has anyone altered how they do things now, I use the TOR browser a lot and PGP to encrypt emails.
