William Binney in an interview suggested that the tech he built for spying on foreign countries was simply retrofitted and used to spy internally.
I am gathering not a lot of people actually knew what was happening at the beginning, and the tools they were using for "valid" purposes were just refocused.
- PakG1 13y agoThere still have to be technical people involved for refocusing software. You don't simply drag and drop an icon to get something redeployed for another purpose, and definitely not for something of this complexity.
- zaqokm 13y agoI agree, however I think it is very credible that a lot of people involved in this were not fully aware or complicit in regards to what was happen. I do not think they were stupid, but just didn't see the entire picture, or were never given the entire picture.
