>Why is it different when the government does it? National security?

"National security" is obvious doublespeak.

National security does not mean security for the general public, it means security for the incumbent power.




Indeed. Nationa Security is like what HR is to a company. It's there to defend the company's interests, not the employees and it will gladly throw one under the bus if they can legally get away with it.


> National security" is obvious doublespeak.

Just change one vowel and it becomes about right: nOtional security.
