Look..."they" aren't some super-Orwellian hyperorganized hive-mind. They're a big, fat bureaucracy full of big, fat bureaucrats. That's why they don't get real jobs!
Look...a little tiny yap yap dog can often scare off a bigger dog or animal by making it clear that any interaction's going to suck. This isn't because the big dog couldn't ultimately kill the little dog, but because the big dog will realize it's just not worth it.

Just assume braindeath and it becomes obvious.
No tla with any dignity left would bother e-mail providers or try to get your
password. All it need to do is fill gforms and get access to tapped traffic at
major nodes (say, 20 in US is sufficient?). Think packet reassembly -> filter
down -> store everything forever -> google on demand.
Concerned about e-mail privacy? There is this obscure software called 'PGP',
check it out. Too complicated? That's the good thing about evolution, not
everyone makes it.
