erm, isn't this assbackwards?

intelligence agencies, aka spies, exist to spy. that's their entire purpose. now there are some laws to protect their own citizens, at least in the US.

once it's a foreign entity, it's fair game. zero fucks about legality given - see any info ever about clandestine services. so if you store your data in a non-US entity, you're more likely to be monitored.

do you think STUXNET was LEGAL?

the NSA, CIA, MI6, BND, KGB, Mossad all ignore the laws of the countries they are acting in. or what do you think a spy is?
