I wished someone leaked current NSA projects like Snowden did back then... We would probably be very disappointed to see how little changed and how worst it is.
Apple and other large businesses get fined nowhere near what they have in assets.... no matter how bad their actions are. One billion is just crazy in this case...
As an example... I was standing in the street to meet my kids... my wife called the cops for no reason and 4 cars showed up in about 60 seconds... they ended up giving me a criminal trespassing warning even if I was on public property
They do like to hide though so you can't see their presence
The previous city I lived in had a population of about 20k and they had two armored military vehicles (mrap / Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles)
They are trying to get to a police state without the majority of people noticing... In the end, it will break the economy.
True... we can only hope.
