Bhairitu, Okay, tell us: if you had Snowden's access and his computer-savvy, could you write a script in about 15 minutes that would:
1. Find the rich people. 2. Eavesdrop on them with software to filter out those who are investing regularly in the markets. 3. See real-time trends before the buys-and-sells are posted. 4. Make vast profits exploiting the markets with the Ultimate Bucket Shop Tool. I think your answer will be yes (with maybe a few quibbles.) If so, given that they say there are ONE MILLION "snowdens" with such powers, how could anyone reasonably expect that that many sysops are all certain to be sane, moral, and legal? Your answer: maybe 98% -- right? We're all being fucked by invisible dicks, right?
