Thank you for the solid reporting and (unlike many others) not jumping to conclusions without supporting data. I completely agree the best defense against these times is to have no emotional buttons to be pressed at all. Instead of being outraged and blowing off steam in useless protests, if we can take passionate, rational approaches to solving problems, we can accomplish so much more.

This comment kind of gave me shivers:

"The Internet is the NSA and the NSA is the Internet."

I hope a decentralized, anonymous, encrypted Internet will exist in the future.
