Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, said the only country which even comes close to the NSA's mass Surveillance is the UK. That it not only comes close, but completely blows the NSA out of the water in terms of mass surveilling their population, and that many illegal NSA mass surveillance programs were them just following the GCHQ's programs

It's not politicians. It's unelected faceless people who impose these, they curb the law. Politicians have to atleast show their face, convince people, and operate lawfully

It's the same with how the CIA and the NSA work. Unelected people who have 1,000 times more power and privileges than any politician because other people who have 10,000 times more power and privileges than any politician promoted them. They then use their power and privilege to spy and surveil over the American people without warrant
