This. Our Government is tapped into every single major ISP, along with thousands of colocations/datacenters and "Internet Backbones" all across the world... including decrypting traffic.

They've essentially made it impossible to have privacy unless you're willing to go to extreme measures which can be a headache, or simply unplug everything.
