The thing is, I don’t think the people who work at those agencies would want this either, except for maybe law enforcement. It’s the bureaucrats who think it’s a good idea, everyone else knows it’s a shite one. It’s an utter farce.

They see themselves as noble, and likely most are. The problem here is misuse, and the scope of information. While the majority behave acceptably, agency culture, and political leanings become a trap. And so the noble use, becomes corrupted. And because the person believes themselves to be good, who they work for is surely good, and so the work done must be good. Just look at all the devs working at facebook Do they see themselves as evil? Causing civil wars, breakdown of societal cohesion for profit, destruction for stock price? No. They see themselves as non-evil. They see what they do as non-evil, because of <reasons>.
