> Right - it seemed like they supported "the people" in the early days. They exposed Bush and Obama when they had things worth exposing.

Well they're still supporting "the people", just not the ones you align with. Which of course means they've lost all credibility and we should ignore them now, right?

That's a really dishonest argument.

How are they supporting the people? How does this benefit society? All this does is attempt to take away the spotlight from other shit happening in our country. Every major country develops hacking software. This isn't news. This isn't even surprising or ground-breaking. It's not even that invasive, it requires physical access AND an admin account!

This is just a distraction. Society is no better off with this information being public.

Hah no, they lost credibility with the Turkey emails. They hoard secrets yet dumped those without even checking to see what they were - what is that about?
