FBI wants real-time Gmail, Dropbox spying power
Am i the only person who assumes that everything we send/receive over the internet is already watched/surveyed/sniffed/logged/at least something by at least one branch of the government?<p>For the record, I dont mean that in a 'government is bad' tone. That is a different discussion. I mean that in an objective 'you'd think the people who run the country and have access to more resources then we ever will would just find a way to do it in the first place' kind of way.<p>They can send machines to mars, have laser guided devices fly to the other side of the world and hit a target, (insert more technically difficult feats here)... but they cant get access to all our data on the wires and networks they govern in their own country? i really doubt that.
