nbcnews.com/politics/justi… A serious investigation is needed on foreign policy, diplomacy. military deployments, and intelligence / counterintelligence.

Rather than building alternatives (which I am not confident would work given how difficult it tends to be to move people off brands they've grown accustomed to), it might be better to establish norms for "privacy," data protection, data correlation, etc. ft.com/content/d56744… I say "norms" (or guidelines maybe?) here because I assume that armies of corporate lawyers will always outsmart legislators...and it doesn't always take an army of lawyers.
