- samstave 8y agoOne of the interesting things that is opaque currently to everyone is where varied interests lie in investment, specifically in silicon valley. We have the CIA/.gov investing in companies left-and-right, and their investment portfolio companies' tech being used in intelligence gathering activities by global intel/security operations. The depth of investment in tech by parties who have less-than-perfect records on every aspect of rule is wide and deep... Who has invested into what companies? Certainly there is money coming from funds that are seemingly US based - but backed and funded by foreign interests.
