The France's "Maginot Line" is used here as a metaphor to ground the author's idea--increasing stories of security breaches and disruptive cyber-terrorist acts

The France's "Maginot Line" is used here as a metaphor to ground the author's idea--increasing stories of security breaches and disruptive cyber-terrorist acts are visible signs of the top-down dark state. Ok. And on the other hand, technology is integrated into society. Technologists (private actors, employees) will see opportunities and vulnerabilities, and make black/white hat choices (like in finance?). And, sprawling organizations with unaccountable funds and charismatic managers will form groups (sounds like an interesting job and more fun than, you know, work) and possibly do some unethical $#it and hide behind lawyers and money. //End dialectical rant Nicely written, though.
