Why are we letting this go on?
Why are we letting this go on?
I'll bite, why is this something we shouldn't "let go on?" The CIA invests in companies doing research that support it's mission. You can disagree with the mission and work to change it, but what is wrong here? Why is it a crime to let a company develop this technology?
-------------- Just to note, the later part of this isn't directed at you @noobermin, just my own rant (sorry) --------------
Also, there are plenty of companies that are in their portfolio that we are happily using without complaint.
What this company is doing isn't wrong and assuming that the CIA is going to abuse it is wrong as well. Do people realize the hoops and hurdles these folks have to go through before they are even allowed to even be in the room with some of this stuff?
The people working there are everyday folks that feel the same about the abuse of technology and work very hard for little pay to ensure that they aren't infringing anyone's rights. Sure it isn't perfect all the time, but for the most part they do their job well considering we almost never hear about their successes till several decades later.

I am not too worried. CIA isn't what they show in TV dramas. It is just another incompetent organization that will go after weak. These are the same jerks who have not really achieved any strategic objectives of importance. The are one major public scandal away from serious trouble.
For example, consider the scandal where they stage a coup in a foreign government, kidnap American citizens to experiment in brainwashing or assassinate a political leader to protect economic interests.

Why are we letting this go on?
Because the time to stop it was 30+ years ago. It's their country now, not ours.

Oh god... as soon as word gets out of this coming to reality there will be a surge of unwashed public restroom hands. Good god! It's bad enough most old guys don't wash their hands after touching their dicks and door handles, now we'll have poop hands everywhere.
That would mark the first time the broad public actually changes behaviour because of a perceived threat to their anonymity and data. I'd be putting my money on the soap people if that were to play out.

I do not want that shit going on in any country, but I especially don't want it going on in my country. Fuck that, fuck them, fuck everybody involved in these retarded ideas.
Ironically they're targeting the wrong end of the person. The sewers would be a great place to collect DNA and narrow down a manhunt in a large metropolitan area.
