Seeing so much of his content on social recently. Probably triggered by Iran war.

Tbh I never heard of him prior to this, I did know about the whistle blower ( torture) but didn't know him by name/face.

Hacking is not allowed on this forum. Expect ban hammer. BTB will come after ya with his tractors.

Shows exactly how much the government cares about your security and privacy. Even if it was outsourced, it is still the responsibility of the government to check and ensure that the company is credible and knows what it is doing.
