I’m not concerned about the CIA running through my computer usage. However, we should be concerned about the CIA rummaging through people’s computer usage, who can be compromised into making promises or supporting questionable legislation.
Don’t get me wrong. I think we all should be concerned. I just think that while we worry about what the CIA does, we ignore the place that backdoored the chips that allowed the ease of access to begin with.
Not that I don’t think chips weren’t backdoored BEFORE production went offshore mind you. IBM had a cozy relationship with the powers that be from day 1.
