Cypherpunk ethics is captured by the normative cypherpunk slogan “privacy for the weak, transparency for the powerful.” Cypherpunk epistemology is a form of data activism that calls for a hands-on response to the datafication of surveillance and relies upon both pro-active (transparency) and re-active (privacy) strategies.

It's also possible that dal and i are ourselves experiencing these things, resulting in us receiving different behaviors of public organizations due to something intercepting or influencing our media and websites.
