It feels like ever since Snowden we've been watching and mapping and uncovering, and none of it has accomplished anything and it has only gotten worse. Why would I even care at this point what the exact topology looks like? It's much more straightforward just to operate from the assumption that absolutely everything I do on an electronic device (and much of my biometric activity within close proximity of those devices) is transparent, visible, catalogued, and archived.

We don't need more maps to this stuff. We need to seize the hard drives, gather any evidence of venal or traitorous motives on the part of the executives and decision-makers who built the systems, and take sledgehammers to the drives and servers and hard drives and recording devices and Flock cameras and all the rest.
