Lobbying is expensive and time consuming. If you ignore regulations and do a good job, the population will lobby for you, for free.

Of course it does. Although you did miss quite a bit, you at least realize that they vote in elections. You don't see the value in knowing and influencing election results?

That's part and parcel of democracy. If you want to pretend that those politicians and officials are accountable to the people, then the people are a legitimate target for espionage, just like the king would be in a monarchy.

Probably fewer than the number of foreign backdoors in foreign-made AV software. The NSA can already get in through the window if they really need to.

Why is it underhanded to let out people whose government has locked them in cages? Sounds like freedom to me. Now where's the nearest maximum security prison...

No, that's pretty much the only thing I find wrong with it. And if they are willing to share the name once other groups start their own similar programs, I would even withdraw that objection.

You believe a carefully selected assortment of facts plus commentary can't be hyperbolic as long as the facts themselves are true? Police have been corrupt as long as they have existed. We just hear about it more now, so they are force
