content: In general with technology if you're okay with 'X" agency covertly collecting information on you, whether that be Microsoft or the NSA. Then you should also be okay with Y and Z getting access to that information which may be foreign countries, criminal actors, or anybody in between. In technology simultaneous discovery is a constantly recurring theme. And this also ignores spies, hacks, and other 'less natural' means of sending information from X to Y and Z. And this also ignores the human aspect. In the NSA leaks we've seen the NSA agents sharing 'privately' sent nudes, spying on their significant others, and more. Those sort of things are flagrant abuses of information that's not being responsibly used. And that's to be expected because "intelligence agency" isn't some sort of opaque entity made of ubermen. It's just a group of normal, flawed people - like the rest of us - that you're entrusting an enormous amount of power and trying to sacrifice your privacy to.
