From another point of view, we can see American Big Tech and CIA (and some other agencies) as the two faces of a same coin : america leadership, as usa are raising their power from economical and cultural supremacy over other country. I may have a blurry foreigner (french) view on your country, but I really see this intrication as real and substential as it was in URSS. In a much robust way, of course, making your country so powerfull.
