The grew so fast they had to be a spy operation.

It's actually CIA. In-Q-Tel specifically . I realize this is splitting hairs. They recieved NSA funding and have worked with NSA (and AT&T, Microsoft specifically) and have been using their software as backdoors

I think the most important thing no one talks about is that chrome browser has 'remote access vnc' software baked into it and it's on by default, which essentially means it's an explicit backdoor that is hidden in plainsight

Of course installing google installs all this crap on the system too like gmail notifier and google apps updater...all these things are ways to log the system on which it is run and report back the apps and activities of the user

I know they do this because I've collected news stories of mass surveillance since 9/11

Also experienced these kind of abusive 'diagnostic' attacks because both on android AND on iphone 5, the phones exhibited weird activity in logging and went haywire, sending gigibytes of data streaming back to AT&T's servers. When I managed to use a tool to look at that, I found out they were logging EVERYTING, even the tilt of the phone's gyroscope, which accounted for a lot of the data. When I confronted AT&T about the additional charges which were close to 100 dollars over the course of this happening for months, they apologized and deleted the charges and gave me a free month as "STFU" credit

They did NOT want to answer my questions as to where this data went, whether it was stored, who was collecting it, and why I could not turn this 'feature off' myself without having to go to the AT&T store

(it's also worth mentioning that I could NOT turn the phone off. I would turn the iphone off and then walk away and it would come back on. This would happen repeatedly. I would turn it off and it would come back on and i would turn it off again, then after a minute it would come back on again. Others online have complained about this as well, calling it the 'power bug')

Situation was all messed up, but I knew what was going on. I was being politically targetted, I believe back then because I talked about psychedelics over the phone and was reading about them heavily on the internet and they thought: oh he's a druggie into psychedelics or something. I am curious about them therapeutically--and I think they ought to be legal yes. But beyond that I am lawful and don't do psychedelics and don't recommend people break the law but try to push to change bad laws like them telling you what to do with yoru body in the privacy of your own home
