"You should expect that everything you put anywhere is going to be read by spies. That's why spies exist; to gather information"
That's ridiculous. It seems like you're condoning mass-surveillance by saying "It's their job". Doesn't the government get to tell them what their job is and don't we get to tell our government what we think?
You make two assumptions:
1. all spies work for a government
2. government employees follow all the rules and guidelines. that is, they follow the law themselves.

I don't see him condoning mass surveillance. I see him condoning being aware that mass surveillance is happening.
