"[A]ll of this has been helped by the massive entanglement of the U.S. and Israeli military-tech complex—a longstanding economic relationship that Trump has not invented whole cloth.

Графит в наших телефонах, или как технологии превращают нас в прозрачных людей

Есть такая притча о человеке, который построил дом из прозрачного стекла, думая, что так он станет честнее перед миром. Но мир оказался не готов к такой честности — и дом превратился в клетку под всеобщим надзором. Сегодня мы живем в эпоху, когда наши телефоны — эти маленькие спутники нашей повседневности — могут стать именно такими стеклянными домами. И делают их прозрачными не мы сами по доброй воле, а те, кто владеет технологиями невидимого проникновения.
