Having been around during the 90s Cryptowars (and related culture and counterculture) I do wonder if in a few years we’ll hear that NSA piggybacked some “fun” toys on this uninstaller.
- neodymiumphish 3y agoConsidering the (il)legality of what they did just by running the uninstaller without authority, and the obvious implications and attention this would have, I highly doubt they did any such thing in this particular instance.
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoThey did something highly illegal so you highly doubt they did one extra illegal thing at the same time?
- neodymiumphish 3y agoI worked in federal law enforcement on these same kinds of cases. The approvals needed to authorize a plan like this are very heavily scrutinized. Any aside added in to leave a lasting effect directed toward monitored lawful activity would have blown this all up immediately.

- jchw 3y agoThe track record that U.S. government agencies have says otherwise. Was there any accountability at all for the Snowden revelations? I mean, aside from Snowden himself, anyway.
