I've long assumed that the US Government has the ability to look inside AES encryption, and has backdoors built into every domestically produced piece of software, but I would have never expected something like Prism (if you believe it's true and I do). I suppose I should have but I still held onto that shred of optimism that we still follow the laws of our country.
I've lost it all now. What a fool I am.
The sad part is my wife is a UK national. My three stepsons are all UK nationals and I'm sure all of us are under surveillance by the US government now. After all, it only takes 51%.
We've enriched those tech companies that took part. Google (I'm writing this on a google product and using their browser), Microsoft, Apple (using a macbook pro) etc... so that they can turn around and sell our information to the government because we might be a threat.
If my family is considered a threat to national security the US is in a whole lot of trouble.
