Excellent, tech battling national governments is what tech should have been doing all the time rather than seeking official funding, secrecy, betraying the citizenry.
Oops, that's the tech propaganda to seduce its customers to become addicted to its sneaky products which profile users, sell that stolen data to governments and businesses.
Personal devices (computers and cells and IOT), the internet, cybersecurity, promise privacy protection to customers while quietly reaping privileged access to the most private of personal hopes and dreams.
No tech can exist without government sanction so it plays a game of deception, of spying, of lying, of cheating, in cahoots with official spying agencies.
Not to say that same game is not played as well by licensed professionals from A-Z, as well as those who enjoy a range of constitutional amendments, 1A to whatever, to groom adherents for trusting the privileged to live up to their perquisites.
Whenever governments and tech and the privileged appear to be fighting, grab your privacy wallet, no not your cryptocurrency that's their purse snatcher.
