You're experiencing the other part of electromagnetism: the magnetic field. As you and your bike pass across the magnetic waves, a charge is induced on you and your bike. You're feeling what it's like to be the rotor of an electric motor, or the other side of a capacitor, or the secondary coil of a transformer!

The USA and UK are both Five Eyes members and routinely share intelligence. If the USA had compromised secure apps, wouldn't the UK be privy to intelligence gathered via that method?

The USA is functionally an oligarchy, not a democracy. The groups with the most money hold untoward amounts of explicit and implicit power. Moneyed business interests own and control entire political parties, media outlets, financial institutions, etc.

It is truly terrifying to comprehend the breadth and depth of the dystopia that has roots in corporate greed. Modern pervasive surveillance technology implemented by the commercial sector worldwide makes real-time identification of dissent trivially easy. Laws may exist on paper to protect and empower citizens, but if corruption overrides accountability to those laws then functionally the government is authoritarian.

The average citizen in any oligarchy has very little influence or power over their government.

Exactly, definitely not a paintball gun. 3000psi, 15 round magazine. Five different types of fin-stabilised ammo available.
