It merely shares intelligence with friendly governments. MI6 spies on Americans' emails and cell phone calls. The CIA and NSA spy on UK subjects' emails and cell phone calls.

For example, our allies the British or Japanese will use the Internet to spy on Americans, collect massive info and then "share" that data with the NSA." - The Federalist<br />GOODSTUFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297008455232643250noreply@blogger.com
