I'm wondering if posters here would be quite so sanguine about this subject if the story involved a US company providing identical data to the British government, or French government, or Belgian government.

If your views would be identical, then fine. If not, maybe that might give you pause for thought.

If France, Belgium & the UK wanna know where I buy my groceries & all of the other boring crap I send through my banking accounts, I don't think I'd panic. LOL

I would say the reaction of most would come down to the way they answer the question about whether or not they believe we are at war.

The civil libertarian in me wants to be bothered by stuff like this, but I know anyone worried about me enough to snoop on me would face an overwhelming case of boredom pretty quickly. I'd have to conger up a case of concern or outrage on behalf of someone else, someone far more exciting than little old me. Show me cases where it was not just used, but abused & I'll try to work myself up to becoming offended & concerned.
