If I were a foreign power that wanted to get as many US citizen's data as much as possible, wouldn't it be easier to just abuse holes in the US security apparatus that already collects data on its citizens rather than build a separate hardware and software apparatus. The US security apparatus already has done the hard part of the work of surveilling the population so intently. Interception of that data is easier than building a secret hardware surveillance network.

literally just have someone convert to mormonism and send them to that big datacenter in Utah lmao.
The whole thing is morally and intellectually bankrupt. I absolutely loathe how they frame their enemies as surveillance states while simultaneously wiretapping the world.
