No shit. People actually do not apprend intelligence agencies have the capability, desire and resources to operate legitimate "privacy" services. Why not just roll out the red carpet and let all the sus people walk in?

Once-intelligent narration of scientific videos has now been replaced with cinematic music and suspenseful drone sounds.
