Pretty tired of seeing people surprised and concerned when they get a look at how the sausage is made like this. Bill Binney in 2002 and Edward Snowden in 2013 should have disabused us all of any pretense of order and justice in this system.
World governments, Big Tech be like: "We are shocked, shocked! to find back doors and spying in here!"
The two work in tandem to facilitate the needs of each other. This is just the new military industrial complex for an age of hybrid war. Not going away any time soon, no matter how we feel about it.
As pointed out in another post today "A key product of ubiquitous surveillance is people who are comfortable with it" [1] All of the revelations with no recourse or reform lead to what we have now, everyone assumes big brother is watching and thats just how big brother wants it.
