  • Les US en seraient donc arrivés à surveiller leur population d’une manière aussi systématique, mais plus efficace, que l’ancienne STASI

    ’No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not.’ ’All of that stuff’ — meaning every telephone conversation Americans have with one another on U.S. soil, with or without a search warrant — ’is being captured as we speak.’ ’No digital communication is secure,’ by which he means not that any communication is susceptible to government interception as it happens (although that is true), but far beyond that: all digital communications — meaning telephone calls, emails, online chats and the like — are automatically recorded and stored and accessible to the government after the fact. To describe that is to define what a ubiquitous, limitless Surveillance State is."
