While the entire country is losing their shit over the prospect of airstrikes in an already war torn country, this is happening. Https and SSL are broken, rendered like unto Swiss cheese by government backdoors. NIST standards have been written by the nsa for three years, and every piece of software written to conform to those standards has been compromised. 90% of consumer devices run operating systems containing code dictated to the corporate megaliths who sell them by the surveillance state. If your desktops, laptops, tablets, or smartphones run proprietary software, they are not your loyal servants but rather spies ready to disclose everything you type, everything their microphones and cameras can pick up to one of some 850,000 contractors with the right clearance. But of course, there are safeguards in place to keep any one of these guys from amassing a Trove of this secret data and disclosing it to a third party. How ridiculous would that be?
