> Multiple European governments are using advanced surveillance tools to spy on their own people

As I've already answered you on another comment and as the very first line of the article you shared points out, Pegasus has been used for domestic espionage. The issue at hand is foreign espionage.




Ah, you think that the EU spies on their own citizens but is above spying on allies? Allies not OK, citizens OK?

Like how Denmark helped the US spy on the EU?

Yes, EU nations are somehow totally incapable of a thing every country is doing. That is naive.


> Ah, you think that the EU spies on their own citizens but is above spying on allies?

Provide evidence please, but we both know there is none.

> Like how Denmark helped the US spy on the EU?

Yet another case of the US spying on its allies.

Edit: You keep editing your comment so it's hard to properly answer.

> Allies not OK, citizens OK?

I've already wrote you here[0] that I find both cases despicable, but we're simply talking about US foreign espionage here.

I'm not sure if you're being obtuse or just didn't bother reading.

Denmark was complicit in the US spying on Germany, Sweden and Norway.

France and Germany both have admitted they have spied on the White House.

Germany has been found to helping the US spy on EU allies:

This is a childish and naïve stance.

Also, I'm not American. You can stop referring to me in the second person.
