I believe this is the underlying cause of their security issues. People involved cannot voice their dissent so they act it out.
The NSA and CIA are institutions established to protect a nation that abides by the rule of law.
When the rule of law is brushed aside the people who are part of that system rebel.
- JumpCrisscross 9y agoI very frankly believe one of the more patriotic things an American with the ability can do is emulate Snowden, i.e. infiltrate and expose the NSA’s domestic surveillance programs.

- convolvatron 9y agoits ultimately in the best interests of all of us to understand how little we can count on the systems we use today to keep information private. how likely do you think it is that the russians or the chinese or anyone really has developed similar exploits?
- retailbuyout 9y agoWtf does patriotic have to do with anything but mass manipulation? These weapons are not designed to be patriotic; they can just as easily hurt anyone.

- wolf550e 9y agoPresumably, a traitor within the NSA or a contractor. See: https://medium.com/@thegrugq/the-great-cyber-game-commentary-3f821f0db749 https://medium.com/@thegrugq/the-great-cyber-game-commentary...
