"A public-private partnership."

Recognized in the 1930s as fascism.

Much has changed since April, but perhaps much has not.

"Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus."

Just keep voting. Pretend it matters.

What you say makes a lot of sense. I have a feeling that a whole lot of not good stuff is beginning to ooze from the Democrat septic tank.

DARPA spy tools embedded in our daily lives. Hopefully someday people will care.

I believe Sundance is out to lunch on this being run on government servers or with government monies.

He had no proof, and there is definitely infrastructure for Twitter that is cost-effective.

"A public-private partnership. I remember a quote from John Kennedy saying that he could not control the military industrial complex when he was president.

It’s working both ways with the tech cronies some of who provide services to the US government for a boatload of tax money

Not sure I agree with the premise. Amazon AWS services has plenty of scale as do many other private companies. Twitter raised almost $13 billion over many private funding rounds from venture capital firms before going public. That amount of money could have provided them plenty of opportunities to scale. They didn’t start with 200 million users on day one. As it grew it became more attractive to investors.
