Wow, that is disturbing. The idea of a government agency having access to that much private communication between its citizens is not good.<br></blockquote></div><br>Not that non-citizens would be immune... :-)<br><br>Personally, I have two answers:<br>
- try to make things as difficult as possible to snoopers (make use of Freenet, encrypt your email, anonimise yourself, etc, whenever possible, even for trivial stuff)<br>- accept (and realise) that privacy has been a transient phenomenon in human societies, for citizens *and* governments alike, and behave accordingly.<br>
