The rest of the world has found out that the U.S. government has been
listening to their phone calls and watching what they do on the
Internet and they do not like it one bit. Outrage has been pouring in
from all over the planet, and one member of the European Parliament is
even comparing the NSA to the Stasi. But instead of stepping back and
reevaluating our Big Brother spying methods now that they have been

people are extremely upset about this.
In Germany (a country that knows a thing or two about Big Brother
tactics), some prominent politicians are publicly denouncing the
surveillance that the U.S. government has been doing on their citizens.
In fact, one German politician has accused the U.S. of employing“American-style Stasi methods”…
