And Facebook partnered with CIA to mass surveil and propagandize billions of people.
It's an evil company with evil partnerships. Turns out it's obligated by law to work with CIA and only obligated by market opportunities to work with other intelligence agencies.
In a similar vein of problematic bias, the companies who attempt to substantiate the Russian hacking attributions (CrowdStrike, Mandiant, and FireEye) cannot be proven not to be making those claims as a condition for the business they do with the DNC and IC (FBI/CIA) - essentially, the reality in the US is not very different from a Kremlin linked company blaming the US for cyber espionage. How is either trustworthy? It becomes more convoluted when people staffing these companies are also former IC. Once a KGB agent, always a KGB agent, right?
I see both sides fighting over pipeline territory in Syria & Crimea for domination of the European oil market. When before in American history have lies been told to justify conflict that resulted in control of oil resources?
