      At least what the French are doing is in the open. I remember when the US Echelon program was leaked, what is their government up to now?

        The fact that they’re doing it out in the open is what really concerns me.

        What are they doing in the dark if they’re okay with telling on themselves about this?

      Look up the Pegasus Project. Governments have already been doing this. Now, they’re just doing it more openly.
