The US Dept of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis are clearly engaged in blatant manipulation of data now. See GDP 1st Quarter 2019 advance estimate.
The TSA is now doing six times as many warrantless searches of data on phones and laptops of travellers passing through US airports than it did in 2012. Apparently they are doing this on behalf of other agencies who would not have legal rights to do this themselves, without first obtaining a warrant.
This is important, but we need to learn how to replicate good teachers first, otherwise we will end up with hoardes of idiots all over the world making stupid toxic shit that nobody needs.
