I think private messages should be able to be screenshot (because the user should control their phones and its apps. Any inversion of control seems wrong from a software development perspective)
I agree that corporations and the government are on the same side, so to speak. I think the media is more aligned with these than against. But I also think public opinion is being manipulated with tactics which make people distrust on another. Snowden was labeled a traitor following the leak of NSA papers, and this label made people reluctant to defend him.
If we assume that 40% of America thought of him as a traitor, then the media could have made it seem like 70% of people thought of him as a traitor. This could, through conformity effects, make people update their stance towards the perceived majority opinion, so that the rate of people who thought of him as a traitor actually became 70%. I believe there’s a lot of exploits similar to this, and that many people overlook them (or consider the change to be organic)
I agree entirely with that reason.
