This is my first post on lemmy so bear with me. Last week someone associated with the US govt floated the idea of kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes network. A week later… would you look at that. Thoughtless and unwarranted actions have consequences.

A lot of people - including me - instinctively say "good, let's make it the four eyes and exclude the US."

But really, we need to do away with the x-eyes program entirely, in its current form.

Shared intelligence is great, but the biggest advantage to 5Eyes has always been that it indirectly allows countries to spy on their own citizens. It's invasive, illegal bullshit that needs to stop.
