It's incredible to watch the degree to which intelligence wants and needs are dictating the coming regulatory environment of internet & tech generally. Losing access to an information stream due to routing or encryption. Matching allies' and rivals' levels of information access (a la prism). Denying them access... From the perspective of the spooks (asio, in this case) these are equivalents to exposing a microphone in Bin Laden's proverbial cave. Meanwhile, FB & Google's revenue streams are, at this point so big and so tightly coupled with creepy ad-tech/spyware that the economy depends on privacy intiatives failing. Narrowing down a list of FB users who are >n% likely to sign up to a new candy subscription is a lot like producing a list of >n% likely to march in charlottesville or support some specific jihad. Colaboration is inevitable. Lets not underestimate where these roads are leading.
