The sick thing about this is that they named the two programs Edgehill [0] and Bullrun [1] after early battles fought in civil wars. I can't see how they will be able to maintain that this is still about terrorism or espionage from other countries. It seems to be nothing other than state-sponsored violence against citizens of the world; the bulk infringement of our right to privacy. And did the whole security industry really not know what was going on? That's hard to believe. In general, I feel like my trust in the ecosystem has just been nuked from orbit. Clearly a lot needs to be done to fix this. What kind of non-violent protest works? What kind of civil disobedience works? What are the best organic ways of organising people without getting shut-down? Do we have technology that is still secure, even if CAs are broken or even if hardware is backdoored?
