    We’re going to ‘counter terrorism’ by mass spying on our own citizens and hope to god real terrorists don’t gain access to our backdoor.

      The point of the exercise is ALWAYS to spy on innocent citizens. It’s about surveillance and control, not countering terrorism or protecting children.

      if we spy on their spies, we can counterspy their spyworks before they spy on us!
