Comment on Data protection: Angela Merkel proposes Europe network

Comments

I wonder if when all of this NSA spying was starting out in the government offices in Washington D.C.; did anyone think about the law of unintended consequences? Trying to spy on everyone in the world is a massive project. Placing oneself into everyone's private lives goes beyond simple hubris. It's megalomania.

I wonder if even now, those involved, have any idea of the nature of what they've done and what the magnitude of the consequences are shaping up to be.
