Am I right in assuming that the US is the only country who has its own subjects PLUS a good deal of the world under close surveillance?
I would say you are incorrect. The UK and the US cooperate very, very closely.
Yes, sorry, that was a silly overlook on my part =) Also, I see the anglo-american government plus a couple of its provinces like australia and new zealand (oh, and canada) as virtually a single entity... So, the question should be : apart from the anglo-americans, and perhaps the chinese, is there any other cyber police state out there? Likewise, the Echelon/Five Eyes program is a publicly
documented SIGINT sharing program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON).
