If you are so paranoid about NSA spying, then why don't you move out of the U.S., user?

If you are so paranoid about NSA spying, then why don't you move out of the U.S., user?

'Cause all the opportunity is in the United States.
Gotta take the good with the bad sometimes.

Because the NSA practices dragnet surveillance and it's pretty much impossible to use the internet without some connection running through the US infrastructure at any given time.

And go where? To the EUSSR?
t. European

I'm already outside of the US, fucktard. I get tracked by NSA just as much as you, with the exception that I can also get drone bombed or sent to Guantanamo. I do however much prefer all that than having to live in the retarded America, that would be the ultimate torture tbh.

Because everyone except shitty third-world countries are spying. Literally no country worth anything isn't spying.

Fuck off faggot.

You get no constitutional protections of any kind outside of the US.

Of course. Did you honestly want America's constitution to have any meaning outside of America?

the knowledge someone is getting paid to sift through my degenerate porn makes me even harder

Then they'll be able to spy on me with more ease knowing that they don't have to bend domestic laws.

This is what I don't understand about retards who rail against the U.S. and value VPNs or email providers that are in the E.U. _Everyone_ is spying on you like said. Though the third-word shitholes are probably spying on you too. But ask yourself this: If no one was spying on you, would you still behave as if someone was? You probably would, wouldn't you?

And another thing, , it's mostly bots and AI that sifts through the data. Humans don't see it unless they specifically look for it and no one gives a shit about you unless you're a terrorist. And yes, they're actually looking for terrorists. The whole mass surveillance scandal isn't some plan to take over the world but an attempt to curb terrorism that went horribly wrong.

...

This is not a problem exclusive to the US but rampant throughout the whole technologically advanced world. The reason that the state historically didn't engage in mass surveillance was not lack of ambition but lack of technology that made MS possible. Now that we have the technology, the state uses it to do what it has always done, order the people around like sheeple.
Mass surveillance began during WWI with mass openings of letters. There is nothing in the definition MS that says that it must use technology, it's just that manual mass surveillance wasn't feasable and politically acceptable except for wartime.

If you are going to move, move to a place without a police state. Maybe the NSA pawned your router, but if you live by yourself on a private island in the south seas, who's going to care that you shitpost pepes.

Because my family is here and every other English-speaking country is worse. The only other language I speak is German, and pretty much every German-speaking country is shit too.

I did. Now I'm happy knowing I have less rights and am more vulnerable to targeted surveillance than ever before. Thanks obama

Because the NSA monitors traffic in the US and most Internet traffic goes through the US.

Dumbass.

Because then the NSA still would spy on me.

This is a known fact.

Because none US citizens have no rights whatsoever OP, you smiling fuck!

why are you all answering this post so seriously? it's clearly not even meant to be bait

...

I don't live in the US, and my security model doesn't rely on which state I live in.

They are merely picking services that aren't known to be compromised.
Before stating "facts", read a bit of the last 2 millenniums of history first. Even ignoring that, terrorism is a non-issue and everyone already knows this. We don't have TLAs vehemently watching us to make sure we aren't stabbing each other in our own houses or neighborhoods over domestic disputes (a much larger issue than "terrorism"), although there do seem to be some trends toward that. Everyone already knows most "terrorist" claims are just politics, false flags (these aren't conspiracy theories - they are acknowledged by the international community and historians), and the tiny percentage of angry people killing each other for petty reasons which turns out to be classifiable as "terrorism". And besides all this, US TLAs literally spy on you and jail you for looking at pictures of naked 16 year olds. Fuck, in the UK you could get the death sentence for talking shit about the Queen or whatever, only 30 years ago or so, and today you can go to jail for 60 days for saying "im gonna kill that nigger will smith" on the internet while drunk. Fuck, you can go to jail for decades for bypassing a LAN CD key check on a game so you dont have to rebuy the game 5 times to play one time with your friends, or for telneting into an unprotected system on the internet and writing "lol" in a text file. See for example weev or aaron swhwartz whatever the fuck their names are spelled. Disregarding all this, most normalfags self censor ("DUUUUUDE YOUR GONNA GO ON THE NSA LIST!!11") and report each other for suspicious behavior (such as coming to work late) because beep boop beep boop it might be illegal because government said so. Fuck your stupid government cock sucking, you stupid faggot.

Nation states have always conducted surveillance, and always for malicious reasons.
