The only rights you have are those we deign to allow you on a case by case basis or rather those not yet denied you. We will use whatever means necessary to attack persons of interest to us and if you are merely tangential to that - tough it is more expedient for us and that is what matters. If you expose or challenge us then we will ruin your life. Do not even think about blowing that whistle or leaking any info - that is for us not you. You can do three tours in Iraq, come back and get shot in the back by a fat mall cop and he will get away with it if we so choose and we do. If it is illegal to use this data now, then we will get our foreign friends to do it until we change the law to make it legal here. If you ask us about it we will lie for as long as we can until we don't have to lie any more. We don't care about cholera, don't care if your beach house is on fire. Don't care if the sky falls in. It is window-dressing and frankly we are a little bored of it to the point where we hardly even attempt to hide it anymore. We have absolute power and you are just a product. Carry on.
Really quite rich people relying on Excel for economic world-scale critical stuff has ruined/cost more than a few lives. Do you blame Bill for his shitty software or do you blame the rich corporate types for not giving a shit/incompetent minimum effort IT?
