The US defense and intelligence apparatuses have been deeply intertwined with private enterprise for many decades. This is a matter of historical fact. But I totally understand if it's more comfortable for you to believe that now things are different despite the fact that no one was ever held to account for what happened in the past.

There is no proof that I'm aware of that all telecom companies and very likely all major tech companies are spying for the US goverent.

To be clear, evidence that some telecoms have, or that some major tech companies have is insufficient.

Extrapolating some into all is unreasonable. Do you have more proof it's the latter?
