“Today, the antithesis of privacy, better known as the NSA, the CIA, and the FBI, are in bed with America’s leading Internet and mobile service providers to circumvent civil liberties on a grand scale. This partnership of government and corporations, colloquially known as ‘corporatism,’ offers many advantages to both partners but none for individuals. For the government, unfettered backdoor access is granted to trillions of Internet data logs, including search engines, emails, and VoIP applications like Skype. In exchange for their perceived high patriotism and civic duty, corporations are awarded multi-billion dollar government contracts and are promised absolute immunity from all criminal and civil litigation.”
