[bestbits] A view form the US, about the US and the Internet

[parminder]

"The fact that no country beside the US possesses a pervasive, global 
spying system proves that the argument that “all countries do it” is 
specious. From satellites in the late 1950s to the Internet 
infrastructure today, this unparalleled US global surveillance complex 
has been continuously modernised. But since the fall of socialism in the 
early 1990s, it also has been repurposed. Its function is still to 
combat challengers, and would-be challengers, to a global political 
economy that is built around US interests."
