I think there's a major difference between "they are" (spying via your webcam, microphone, etc..." and "they can". Yes, they absolutely can do a lot of stuff that you read about, and probably more. But I don't believe that they just monitor EVERYONE as a matter of course. No one wants to monitor uncle Jeb or little Susy or 90% of the rest of the general public out there. I believe their monitoring is much more targeted than that.
Does some shady stuff happen in govt? Sure, I have no doubt, the same as it happens everywhere.
