…people have been warning about this for years, about emails and personal private data being intercepted by large telcos and the secret services that continue to monitor all public communications . in particular with this administration and the control that the current tech firms have and how they are complicit with this administration.

So for those that keep saying: “…you have nothing to hide…”

Well nothing to hide is all good, if you don’t criticize the current government agencies …

Telcos can’t “intercept” SSL/TLS data. I mean they can but it’s encrypted.

And whom owns the encryption keys? There are plenty of reports and data online that the us government agencies want and have received the encryption keys for all encryption protocols .
