I like to think of it this way –

What if a power had access to everything Google 'knew'? What would they have?

A: The Zeitgeist - what it is right now that people the world over are 'seeking', what they crave.

What if that same power had access to everything Facebook 'knew'?

A: What the world was 'feeling'

What if they had everything Twitter 'knew'?

A: What the world was 'saying'…

Now… imagine all 3, in a feedback loop, driven by AI and algorithms – providing this power access to, and cross-referencing ability of … it all… (((they))) could easily 'steer' what the world perceived by gentle shifts in presentation, framing, and yes, at times, not so gentle censorship. The ultimate control grid.

The best prison is the one then inmates are unaware of.

The problem with disbanding FBI and/or CIA is then you have 1000s of spooks going underground. At least as-is, you can keep your eye on them… keep your enemies closer, and all that…

There's no ME equivalent in AMD chips - Spectre and Meltdown now both shown to affect most every AMD chip as well…

Not quite. Reputations at stake prevent gaping holes. However, plants within Dev teams might weaken algorithms (ala. RSA), or the like. Any outright attempt to provide a backdoor will be caught pretty quickly by the Security Research community … but ME level access mechanisms would go unnoticed for decades (as we saw with ME)… Spectre/Meltdown were likely known/used by 3 letter agencies long before disclosed to public last year.

Also, any decent company / geek is looking at egress traffic from their network to known CnC servers and blocking/alarming on it… this would lead directly back to machine/port/protocol that was being used to communicate with the target PC. We do this "auto-magically" all day today at work…
