Yeah, I know who you are, and well, with respect, I think you're wrong. I cannot produce hard evidence for what I'm alleging. But I strongly suspect it.<p>NSLs are a fact. TIA/ADVISE is, or was, a fact. The massive expansion of data centre capability is a fact. What do these facts point at? You could claim there's no certain conclusion and you'd be right. But you must admit that taken together they do not exactly paint a rosy picture for your data privacy online.<p>Let me concede that I am most decidedly not law enforcement and readily admit I have no first-hand information from LEOs in the US or the UK. But I do have some little experience with the national technical means in your lovely little sun-and-surveillance-drenched colony Down Under and, well, why d'ya think I'm so paranoid ; )
