The US ‘hacks” for the safety of hundreds of millions and sometimes the world. But I hate to tell you most hacking is done trying to stop hackers and cybercrimes from Russia, North Korea, Iran and China. Hacking as you call it is typical espionage and cybersecurity. Unless you’ve ever sit and watched a server log before you have no idea what you are talking about. It’s like a seething cauldron of continuous bombardment from non US entities. Also most criminal ransomware, viruses, malware are continuously sent to cripple computers in the US originate afar. Individual hackers who unilaterally attack large governments are playing with fire. I didn’t invent that. It’s just a fact. I rest my case with mr Assange’s current position. Are you a hacker doing that?
