    It’s legal to spy on your employees in USA?

    I’m beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren’t completely baseless…

      Why would it be tinfoil? The us culture is very much about hardcore capitalism. They don’t even have unions or proper vacations.

        Not true on either count. We just don’t have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.

      Yeah, they lack personal freedom in USA, it’s just the way it is. Freedom means it’s ok for your boss to spy on you, they’re free to do that and you are free to be spied on. Oh and they get to own a gun which makes them like really really cool and tough.

        Depends what mean by owning a gun but some people are so insecure about their personal safety that they probably want one

        The NSA are not allowed to spy on their own citizens. That’s why they use data of friendly countries’ agencies.

            It seems like they collect the data from big tech and not directly from the users.
