Prism, Tempora -
not surprising at all. The Americans have used stations in England since the 70s or early 80s already to overhear over 90% of all telephone and radio communiction in all of Europe, and beyond. With today's technological capacities, the surveillance of any electonic communication is total, I'm sure, and much automated.
Surprising only is how little people care. They already are pretty much in nausea, it seems.
Of course I do not trust terrorists. It's just that I see zero reason to trust governments either, and week for week I read new evidence and news from all Western world how much my mistrust is justified.
The fallout of a total surveillance society with crystal clear transparency of the state's self-declared property units - citizens, that are -, will become evident in the future. Maybe then will people care, if meanwhile for some reason they woke up. It's just that then it will be too late, and the monster will be at the maximum of its power and control.

A people not caring for its freedom, does not deserve freedom.
Nor respect or sympathy.
We all are ruled to become just enslaved numbers.
Submit! Obey! Shut up! Praise the system! Die for its lies! Fight for its defence! Believe in its illusions!
A new cult is born. Hallelujah!
