    Lmao. Yes. By all means dismantle the giant multinational CIA of the west.

    Great idea. Fantastic. Love to see it.

    The US should be axed from the alliance at this point, honestly. No intel shared with us can be trusted to be secret, even to our ‘enemies’.

    This is great news for Canadians, meaning they’ll be free from dragnet surveilance, as the five eyes monitoring system relies on other countries to spy on their citizens for them as a legal loophole.

    Way to go trump, keep going, dismantle the five eyes entirely.

      But useful idiots kept warning about China spying on me through Huawei without evidence.

        Don’t make the mistake to think that reliance on China is not a security threat. It might not impact privacy, but at least from what I heard here, big network operators are unable to maintain their networks without support from the hardware vendors, and not just in the sense that they need updates, patches etc, but that the OEMs rather do everything and the providers just slap their label on it.

          You are right, USA being bad does not make China good. All this shows is USA was always bad. It’s just mask off now. Every nation should be looking to independently secure their networks now. No one can be trusted. But if we are honest, it was always this way, the world just got complacent.

      Huh? The other 4 can still spy on Canadians. They just won’t share the info with Canada.

          They can and will be prosecuted through legal means. As for illegal means, if it’s a big enough deal you can bet the other 4 countries will accidentally leak the info.

            Yeah I dunno how anyone thinks this is a good thing. I mean, the destruction of the alliance wouldn’t be bad, but removing Canada from an existing one is just declaring info war.

            This phrase is way overused, for good reason, but I’ll use it again: I fucking hate this timeline.

      Best thing Trump’s ever done, if his team can do it.

      Five eyes is why your government legally has real time data on everything you’re doing regardless of local privacy laws.

        Exactly.

        They’re not spying on their own citizens, that would be illegal. They’re simply allowing other countries to spy on you (legal) and then they “share” data with each other.

        The net result is every FVEY agency doing an end run around laws that exist to prevent government intelligence from spying on its own citizens.

        Add in data brokers who buy all your data stolen by Facebook and Google and re-package it for sale and Big Brother can have all of the data that they would get from spying on you without being bothered by silly laws that prevent them from spying on you (they didn’t, the UK did).

        It was in response to the UK trying to get Apple to put a back door in their advanced encryption for all Apple customers, not just UK citizens.

    Something tells me that an intelligence community alliance between the U.S., the U.K., and three former United Kingdom colonies could well do without the United States, just sayin’.
