    USA mass surveillance isn’t a conspiracy theory because they’ve been pretty open about it.

    NSA warrantless surveillance was a huge topic in the 2000s and even involved a lot of litigation.

          It’s not an anti journalism take. Journalism is valuable. I mean the american media landscape and the control mega corporations have over almost all of their popular media. Disney, WB and Netflix come to mind.

      It used to be a conspiracy theory that the NSA and maybe other 3 letter agencies had closets at ISPs where they were slurping up all the traffic, later it turned out to be true around 2006 and they definitely weren’t open about it until whistleblowers started making noise.
