Ex-government agents from all governments work in tech companies that it's absolutely useless.

This just seems to be a dynamically trained MT algorithm that overtrained on charged discourse occurring over the past week. Also, I think FB uses their own MT algorithm instead of Google or Bing Translate for competitive and profit margin reasons.

Yes... twitter, Yahoo emails, telephone companies... the rabbit hole is deep and well-documented. So much of it illegal and unconstitutional. All we can seem to do is scream into the wind and at best... get downvoted.

Not just the twitter files but the PRISM and NSL leaks, FISA courts etc, as leaked by Snowden. What else is in that trove that we haven't seen yet.
