The Deep State keeps seeking more and more ways for the commercial world to provide the means for the intelligence community to know everything possible about every human being 24/7/365.
ransomnote: I get the impression insurance companies are 'sharing' information with intel agencies, and intel agencies are 'sharing' information back to insurance companies. There's a growing use of drones to examine property - what or who else are they looking for and/or watching?
Pegasus software is pushed out to cell phones whether you want it or not. Hardware/software has backdoors. They have the ability to collect alot so why should we assume they don't share it, sell it or use it?
James O'Keefe recently spoke about the lack of privacy via our cell phones always listening, even when they appear to be turned off.
In the early 90's I recall reading that our intelligence agencies had software monitoring all telephony nationwide and employed software that could understand various middle eastern languages and terminology/code used by terrorists. It's not a person monitoring - it's a big chunk of computing collecting and flagging anything 'of interest' for further review.
The thing is all the commercial personal spying is sold as, and on the surface, usually, looks as if driven to “provide better or more personal service” to the owner of the device that is doing the spying, which today includes the car, yet, contrary to law, and rehardless of the law saying our intelligence agencies cannot collect domestic data without a warrant THEY ARE NOW SIMPLY BUYING IT ALL FROM EVERY COMMERCIAL ENTITY THAT HAS IT and going fishing without a warrant in 100% of all the different electronic communications.
The pretense of our commercial outfits that they know nothing of this is nothing less than them being complicit in what our laws say our intelligence agencies cannot do.
