Neither China nor Russia can pretend that they are not just as vulnerable, or just as thoroughly 'monitored.'
The media likes to pretend a lot... they like to give the impression that only the 'villain' does these things... it's not just the "villains."
This is the press pretending that the technology mentioned in their particular report is singular and unmatched... as usual. Paranoia and fear-bait.
Truth is, no one can (or should ever) pretend that they are "100% safe" from surveillance. Once an individual is elevated to the status of "target" the sanctity of their privacy is lost. There are different ways to secure your privacy... and most of them are beyond the private individuals' means to achieve.
No VPN, no encryption, no trick of modulation or signal manipulation is impervious.... there are other more 'organic' ways to protect oneself, but it's a big hassle and not fit for common or casual use.
Homeland security is an economic department, contracts and contracting is their "forte."
They are a government "job-creation" vanity project... providing contracting opportunities for 'family and friends'...
"Security" has almost nothing to do with them directly... their name was practically a 'cosmetic' designation.
Ouch! I strained my cynicism muscle...
