Hoi,
Sigh ... being spied upon by the AIVD is not fine. However, they have a
duty to Dutch people and the argument that the NSA is benign to
US-Americans "equally applies" to the AIVD. We do serve Wikimedia content
from Amsterdam.
The notion that the AIVD is incompetent is based on what ? It is however
beside the point.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
The fact that law suits like this actually happen is a wonderful
improvement in and of itself.
Our aim is to freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Free has many
meaning, one of them is free to share without consequences.It is not
only
about free of cost.In the past we implemented
https for the very reason
that we did not want eavesdropping on the content from our Wikis.
Partially implemented https
I think
nobody ever suggested that we should not do this because of the cost.
So for what reason wasn't it done?
The least it does
is make it obvious that the NSA is not behaving in a way that is
conducive
to propagating democracy and its associated
values in our world. It
shames
the current practices and the donkey may sing.
Being spied on by AIVD on the other hand is just fine.
Seriously people if you aren't American pick your words with care. Your
domestic agencies are either worse or activity incompetent.
