The U.S. Embassy is troubled that a Member of the Austrian Parliament is invading someones privacy

[MrSuperb]

A Member of the Austrian Parliament (Peter Pilz) posted some pictures from a construction site near the United Nations Office in Vienna on Twitter.
There have been strong indications in the past, that this site is used for the observation of mobile phones by the NSA (which of course is complelty illegal to do so in Austria by a foreign intelligence agency)

Apparantely the US embassy wasn't to fond about him posting that pictures showing the US-intelligence company Michael Baker working.

It is kinda ironic, that the US embassy is demanding privacy for their employees while building a site to invade the privacy of every Austrian and many other Nations working in the United Nations Office in Vienna.

 

left the United Nations Office, right the IZD-Tower with a small hut on top hiding NSA equipment.

The US government (and others, like the UK) are becoming more and more like little children with their toys. They want to play with their toys, but as soon as someone else does the same, they throw a tantrum.

It's like a World Wide Kindergarden for politicians ...

It's sad just how right you are. The double standard that exists is mind blowing.
