> let's turn that into a war between ourselves instead of demanding better legislation and more transparency from governments
The government is made up of it's constituents, we should absolutely blacklist those people to let them know we are not OK with this. You'll never get more transparency from the government, it's not in their best interest to do that, nor is it for them to implement 'better' legislation. Ideally that would be great, but we are WAY past that being a realistic possibility in America.
No I did. In theory the government is made up of its own people, so my first sentence meant I deem it acceptable to blacklist private companies that provide these products and services to the government.
But also in the same breathe, people in government are also extremely self serving, and it does them no good to provide more transparency when their current paychecks benefit from a lack of transparency.
I can see how that appears to be contradictory but I did not mean for it to be taken in that manner, hope this clears up my statement.
