So, aside from “Because we can” and “Ah, power without responsibility, feels so good” can anybody discern the objective for going in the back door? Is FISA just too mean about some class of ‘metadata’ that they wanted? Have large corporations actually grown a spine about things that aren’t related to taxes? What is it that the feds would want that they couldn’t get by flashing a badge?
Is this just a live-fire training exercise for the same hack against Sina Weibo or something?
