Intelligence Agencies Spent Billions on This. Now It's Open Source.
Original: Intelligence Agencies Spent Billions on This. Now It’s Open Source.
The claim making rounds is that technology once developed at enormous cost by intelligence agencies is now freely available as open-source software. The discussion, driven by a widely shared explainer by Bilawal Sidhu, suggests open tools have caught up to capabilities that previously required state-level budgets, raising questions about who can now access powerful surveillance or analysis capabilities.
Why now: People are discussing how state-funded technology has become freely accessible, which raises concerns about power shifting away from governments.
