Happy Publication day to the Church Committee Report!

Published for the first time in an abridged format and by a major press for it's depressingly relevant 50th anniversary.
It's time to read the Church Committee Report! Published by a major press for the first time for it's 50th anniversary, we abridged it to its most jaw-dropping findings chronicling the abuses of the FBI, CIA, and Military from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The tech industry only ever has two positions on any proposed tech regulation:

(1) Don’t regulate us. It’s too early. Our tech is still developing.
