I don't think that changes the reality that they're part of a government that's increasingly ham-fisted in its attempts to remove even the veneer of privacy from its citizens. One can accept that DARPA does good work, and also accept that it works for bad people.

- losteric 11y agoThe government is not one entity... DARPA's aligned with the military/battlefield technology, unlike the NSA's vague sigint focus. Heads would roll if there was any kind of backdoor here, because it puts soldier's lives at risk with no justification.
