the US NSA has a lot of things they have to abide by if the people working there at least low level dont want to end up in federal prison.Um... yes? Their social control policies are actually pretty bad and their version of the NSA monitors their citizens a lot more proactively than ours does. I'd honestly put them as worse than the UK or Germany, as those countries tend to do less with what they gather.
Do other countries not have something similair to FISA?
