Phew... for a long minute there, I thought paranoia was getting the best of me, glad to see it's still the good ol' capitalist secret police state who are actually looking at me through that crack in the wall.
I try to not shit on them every time they breathe.
Like, It's okay to be critical when a company makes a decision you disagree with, but I feel like there's a lot of hate anytime they make any of public statement.
I kinda envy folks who think that they have enough geopolitical importance for the CIA/NSA/ThreeLetterAgencies to be keeping tabs on them. I mean, it generally comes with a lot of baggage and delusions but, constantly that level of self-esteem and assuredness must be nice (not that I'm super low in my adult life).
Now, influence campaigns? That's a different animal altogether. There've been too many on the modern Internet for too long.
