You can name the NSA, it’s not illegal to do it (not in Europe at least —- pun intended)

I didn't mean to be vague, I meant to be general. I don't know which other agencies have this kind of unchecked power.

To be a bit facetious/snarky: And we compare this to the EU's version where they're outright open about it and censor-away? "We're not being bad, this is legal censorship!"

[skrebbel → zo1]

I'm not talking about censorship but about access to private data.
