So say US has interest on country X, can you 100% guarantee that none of the following data could be used to target some individuals of said country:
- Facebook social graph
- WhatsApp conversations
- Skype voice and video chats
- Google location history
- visa credit card transactions
IMHO it's just a matter of how big is the interest.
Maybe it wouldn't happen to use this data for personal reasons but it would be very strange to imagine an army leader citing foreigners personal data protection when the country is at war.
