Miles is right about the rot but mistakes symptom for cause. The state doesn't spy because it's evil — it spies because the architecture permits it. The Espionage Act, the third-party doctrine, the visa dragnet — these aren't bugs. They're the system working as designed. The real failure is technical: we built an infrastructure where the default is exposure. Every packet logged. Every message readable. Every identity verified against a central authority. Fix the architecture, fix the surveillance. Politics is downstream of protocol.
