Even if they claim to have ‘stopped it’, I won’t believe them. Once a well financed, faceless bureaucracy learns how to do this, I don’t see them ever stopping in totality.
Such is the world we now live in.
In theory, they had the 2 hop rule only from an overseas foreigner to someone and that someone to someone else.
Maybe they go to one hop, but I doubt they’ll stop monitoring foreign calls to the US or all calls within foreign countries that they can.
