Osborne Megacorp

"It seems that Mr. Osborne is also a true patriot. Please take a look at this document."

Harry opened the file, which required Osborne to provide a lot of sensitive data to the NSA, such as citizens' travel records, mobile phone browsing, etc., basically all private information.

The benefits of participating in the Prism Project are obvious - the promotion of ctOS will receive support from Congress, and huge amounts of special funds will be received every year.

But the problem is that the U.S. intelligence system is a scumbag. Snowden is not a high-level intelligence officer, he is just an employee of a defense contractor.

A defense contractor employee had access to this kind of secret and leaked it. Harry could only say that there was something wrong with the NSA and the FBI.

I have no interest in helping the US intelligence system, which is full of loopholes, to find and fix the loopholes, but I can do the opposite.

Now that you know something like this is going to happen, just play the victim.

Play the role of a clean, law-abiding information company.

After reading the document, Harry frowned.

"With all due respect, a lot of the information requested by the federal government seems to violate citizens' privacy. This does not seem to be in line with the spirit of freedom in the United States, and it seems to have legal risks."

Hearing this, Watson shook his head: "This is all for the sake of national security. Mr. Osborne also said that this is to screen out true patriots."

"Technology giants like Osborne have the ability to process information, so they naturally bear the responsibility of transmitting information and processing information. Now we just ask Osborne to fulfill his responsibility."

Harry continued to act, frowning.

Although the outside world says that the United States is a country controlled by capital, which is not a big mistake, capital does not refer to just a certain capital.

And when the U.S. government negotiates with you, it largely means that interest groups other than you are negotiating terms with you.

Not to mention that Project Prism is an international large-scale surveillance plan.

This time, once Harry refuses, various problems will follow, and he might even be saddled with a sky-high fine.

But... it will make him non-stick when Project Prism is revealed.

The best advertising is to attract peers, and the best advertising effect is to make customers feel regretful. If you want to monopolize, the best market is that you can only choose me - because I am the only good person.

"I refuse. Citizens' privacy rights should be respected. I will not agree to give you this data."

Harry's attitude made both of them a little confused, but looking at his determined look, they probably couldn't complete their mission.

"Well... Mr. Osborne, I hope you won't regret your decision today."

The two looked at each other and put away the documents.

The superiors will naturally arrange for Osborne to surrender, but it is not their turn to decide.

Looking at the agents and detectives walking away, Harry picked up the phone.

Although I had an idea, I still had to inform T-Bone.

"T-Bone, I have something to tell you. The NSA and FBI just came to our door. They want us to dig deep into and record user privacy and provide these things to them."

"Tell me you said no."

Harry smiled at T-Bone's reaction.

"Don't you want to hear their conditions first? For a company, the support they can provide is very powerful."

"When we were a small team, Quinn gave us a lot of sponsorship, so I won't accept this condition."

T-Bone's attitude was even more determined than Harry's, maybe he was the one who had been hurt.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I refused. But to be honest, these data are all with you, so they may still find you again."

"Okay, thank you boss."

“Also, be prepared to withstand stress.”

"I understand, I understand," T-Bone said.

"Cheer up, T-Bone, that's not necessarily a bad thing," Harry said easily. "Then...I don't think it can be that simple. If you are interested, you can return to your old career. I heard that a hacker group called Rising Tide is quite popular."

After rejecting invitations from the NSA and FBI, conspiracy theories about ctOS became rampant on the Internet.

Nine traditional international Internet giants, including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and Apple, jointly used their own resources to launch a massive public opinion guidance campaign.

"ctOS? Be careful it's monitoring your life!"

"What can ctOS do? First you need to know what you have."

"Personal information, medical insurance number, medical records, Internet browsing content, input habits, daily walking routes..."

"Every second you are in the city you will be exposed to this terrible surveillance system!"

"The information of everyone living under this system will be stolen or even used without knowing it!"

The loading rate of ctOS-derived APPs on individual users dropped again and again, and wandering crowds began to destroy cameras and public facilities connected to ctOS devices.

What is somewhat surprising is that Osborn Enterprises has been completely unresponsive in a series of cases, even those public facilities that were damaged, Harry directly told T-Bone to just delete these things from the system.

After walking out of Osborne Tower, there were many people holding signs in protest outside. Out of curiosity, Harry got closer. He wanted to know what these people had to say.

"I know! Behind you are those guys who control the world! Tell me, which one is it?! Rothschild?"

A man yelled, his face turning red when he saw Harry approaching.

After hearing his words, Harry shook his head: Everyone knows that there are many big families in this world. They are rich and powerful, and they are as rich as the country - of course, it depends on which country you are talking about.

But this kind of people are the kind of people who firmly believe in the rumors that the Rothschild family controls the world.

Even if there really is such a "Rothschild", it has nothing to do with the Osborne family.

The Osborne Group does have some foundation in this world, but both Oberson and Norman made fatal mistakes. The Osborne family is not as powerful as they imagined, and Norman was almost kicked out. Anyway, it is definitely not what they imagined. Rothschild” is different.

"Rothschild has always controlled the world", "Jews have always controlled the world"... Harry was too lazy to respond to such conspiracy theories.

Believing this is worse than believing in nonsense like "humans control the world".

"Don't we have to do something in response? I know you're invested in this system."

Seeing Harry shaking his head secretly, Hurley asked aloud.

"If they don't want it, they don't have to," Harry replied.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on these people's bodies, making them extremely bright red.

Harry got into the car without looking back.

To be honest, these people were much more easily swayed than Harry imagined.

ctOS does monitor citizens' lives on a large scale, but under T-Bone's operation, it is indeed a conscientious enterprise compared to other Internet giants.

ctOS played a huge role in the giant battlefield in Harlem and in the capture of superpowers like the Purple Man, but no one mentioned these.

Not to mention the huge optimization effect of this system on the city's operating efficiency. Even if we don't mention the changes in indicators such as power distribution efficiency, domestic water treatment efficiency and crime rate that are difficult for normal people to detect, the shitty traffic in New York City has been greatly alleviated. , everyone should feel it.

However, high-tech products are like addictive drugs, especially this kind of ultra-informational central control system.

The Battle of New York is the best billboard that will filter out Osborne Group's loyal customers.

I just don't know how many people will die from this.

Harry shook his head and thought no more.

He doesn't blame these citizens, nor does he think they are just stupid and ignorant, but in this confrontation, their fate has been decided.
