the primary issue: protocols and applications which facilitate mass surveillance, dragnet style. efforts like crippling internal standards, or embedding weaknesses in algorithms in deployed systems, are counter to the security of everyone, not just US citizens. there is stronger justification for end-point targeted activities, and indeed, evidence shows these techniques are absolutely effective. there is no justification for blanket mass surveillance, especially when deployed via subterfuge and deceit. thwart it via every means possible! opportunistic encryption, forward secrecy, mix networks, other technical tricks. P.S. every means possible also implies political involvement, as the funding for these efforts flows through a legal diffusion of responsibility under legitimacy of democratic consent.
