I think people are more and more comparing American tech to the dangers of Chinese and Russian tech, realising that of the three, America is probably the most dangerous and dubious, not just with its risk and intrusiveness, but it's long-standing influence.
For people that don't see it through the brainwashing, just replace America with a country you don't like whenever you read such articles and suddenly "Are we the baddies?" won't seem like enough of a situational comparison.
Ah, so it is true.

You're welcome. I think the "shadow" and public facing governments are aware the collapse is ever more impending, and only hope to delay it long enough to make sure the domestic surveillance - genocide apparatus is in place and operational before they escape to their bunkers.
Good time to hold stock in Saab or Dassault.

Between this and Microsoft admitting that Windows reports back everything you do, making you trackable across VPNs, proxies, etc, it's a wonder that anyone trusts American tech companies at all.
