    Qu’est-ce qui chiffone vraiment les Américains, au fond, le fait d’être espionnés ou simplement qu’on ne les ait pas prévenus d’abord ?

    Given that our society demonstrably does not care about its online privacy, I wonder two things:

    Wouldn’t it have been out of touch for the U.S. Government to assume we do care and check with us before storing all our communication in a big fat database?
    Even if the government had disclosed the existence of such technology, and the subsequent use of it, would we have even bothered to read the privacy policy?

    In that sense, PRISM truly seems to have been made in the image of American internet users.
