You mean this one? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/jun/19/open-source-revolution-conquer-one-percent-cia-spy It's written by Nafeez Ahmed, a conspiracy theorist who thinks 9/11 was an inside job. That raises my skepticism alarm right away. Just trusting whatever some conspiracy theorist wrote in an article on the Guardian would be foolish. That said, I don't even know what this article has to do with Internet services or why you brought it up. It starts by promoting a bunch of books these two wrote and then goes on to talk about "open source intelligence", the idea of intelligence agencies that don't collect any secret data. Nothing in there at all is about Internet services. The claim that Steele is "hugely respected" in the article, the only part of it that you specifically referenced, is entirely unsourced. It seems to just be Ahmed's unsubstantiated opinion. -- Julie Marchant https://onpon4.github.io Protect your emails with GnuPG: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org
