I'm reading "exploit", "chips", "hardware", "backbone", "cookies", and "encryption", but not seeing a coherent argument or evidence that we mean the same things when we use these words. NSA is not getting "backbone corporations" to create "exploits".
I guess I'm not qualified to speak on this subject, I can't say anything without sounding like a newb. The NSA requires Google, wireless operators, everybody who has or transmits data, to hand it over assembly-line fashion and that's not an 'exploit'. But if I managed to do that, it would be.
So the NSA doesn't get labeled as a rogue hacker or exploit-creator because, well, because of semantics.
