@Dymaxion Read your Medium piece--really though-provoking. In you mind, who protects against cyber bad guys?

@emptywheel Corporate intelligence != corporate market information gathering. Extremely distinct. -
@Dymaxion How so? -
@emptywheel They serve different ends and use different resources. Google ad tracking isn't about detecting threats. -
@Dymaxion Ah, but hackers aren't only threat to Google. Amazon, MS, Apple are too. Gather info abt "weapons" to exploit given territory. -
@emptywheel Absolutely; not claiming they are. Commercial espionage is a big deal, but not the same as consumer-facing info gathering. -
@Dymaxion But I think there's a continuum, in same was as continuum bet State services and CIA HUMINT. -
@emptywheel Sure. And companies run CIA-in-Pakistan-style false flag info gathering missions at the same kind of peril. -
@Dymaxion Not different peril?? If caught, antagonist doesn't have explicit power to detain, kill. - 6 more replies
