Five Eyes: “The United Kingdom – United States of America Agreement (UKUSA, is a multilateral agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Emerging from an informal agreement related to the 1941 Atlantic Charter, the secret treaty was renewed with the passage of the 1943 BRUSA Agreement, before being officially enacted on 5 March 1946 by the United Kingdom and the United States. In the following years, it was extended to encompass Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Other countries, known as "third parties", such as West Germany, the Philippines, and several Nordic countries, also joined the UKUSA community in associate capacities, although they are not part of mechanism for automatic sharing of intelligence that exists between the Five Eyes.”
The intelligence group could be a good thing as it allows multiple countries to share information with each other more easily but other countries who are not included within the group will be left in the dark and might feel ostracized.
Society might feel mistrustful of the government because for a while this group was kept secret and only select few knew about it. People already don’t trust the government to not invade their personal lives but to know that there was a secret organization dedicated to gathering information would cause a more significant amount of distrust.
My generation may become significantly more paranoid about the information that they share online or otherwise due to knowing that there can be secret organizations who are compiling information.
