Don't despair just yet.  There may be a simpler explanation.

Re: using free email:  The spooks just take everything anyway (as the
fiber optic splitters in Room 641A have shown, etc.), but one makes it
much easier for the bastards by using google/yahoo/msft's "free" email
(where the companies are compelled to be complicit, and *you* are the
product), and by not using encryption.  Sure, the ciphers have probably
been intentionally weakened, but why make it easy for them?

I've been using a non-USA email provider for many years, but it really
makes no difference when they tap the Internet backbone and just steal
everything.  If you have need to transmit sensitive communication, doing
it online is just not safe.
