I think the intelligence community made a bit of a joke of themselves honestly. Especially on the topic of electoral manipulation. They deserve it. Although there was large political influence, it really doesn't shine a good light on them and their capabilities or more probable what they make of them. That said, I think restricting their abilities is the way forward, otherwise you just get a new form of a cold war, which in hindsight was just stupid. Their current capabilities cannot be justified with security concerns and if so, they should at least be able to fix the IT of prominent political actors. They scared the right people to get privileges to data that is formally protected in most western countries. So not only do they do a bad job, they are also criminals.
