That is the entire point of FiveEyes. That is a feature.

The US is technically not allowed to spy on it's own citizens. However, legally speaking, if the UK spies on your citizens and forwards whatever is interesting, it's not the US spying on it's own citizens.

You say this like the FBI hasn't asked Apple for a back door before here in the US
