the difference between "old school" spying and what happens now, is that it now targets everyone - not just political or military targets

according to snowden's latest leak, microsoft willingly sat down with nsa and worked out go-arounds of their security protocols before they were even in place.
while they say that turned out to impact <.02% of outlook users, i'm still scratchiing my head over the willingness to *work together* on this sort of project. but it makes me think that prolly all nations and their native private companies are working together like this. usa, france, germany, all of our countries have embraced this snooping mentality.
yay tech! it will be the bane of our existence.
