1) The corporate media rides on what's in the interest of corporate interests
to be known - not, necessarily, on what's "popular". (And, always tries to be
silent on the rest.) The author that I mentioned, for example, is a pretty
"popular" one. Have you ever heard of him, in the corporate media?
2) Julian Assange was an unknowingly CIA puppet, before he got access to
(really sensitive) information (concerning the type of surveillance that I
talk about), that he wasn't supposed to. And, that's why he's now being
persecuted. (For anything else, read the book...) I don't know what you mean
by "cypherpunks"...
3) Yes. And "Anonymous", and the likes, are other front groups that serve
that same purpose.

4) "Strengthened", not "changed".
