What dyou mean dog... the US govt wasn't exactly counterspying, it was farming mass data just to have it... I mean true. We did legally sign away our rights to almost every telecoms corp we came into contact with. But we didn't have alternatives, the idea that they might up and sell our data to the highest bidder isn't exactly in line with the interests of their products.
