This enables the government to have a much easier time of knowing what private people are up to without any sort of process or consent.
deals ensure equipment everyday government industry logical next privacy private question rats shows technology
Even worse, it shows how the government and private industry make backroom deals to weaken our privacy by compromising everyday equipment like printers. The logical next question is: what other deals have been or are being made to ensure that our technology rats on us?
