Agreed, it's an obvious attempt by GCHQ/NSA to gather metadata on Soylent users. In all seriousness we know that GCHQ has attacked Slashdot before and I imagine they mine the comments there (and now here) regularly, trying to match user names to their other databases. They are recruiting at the moment.

Imagine if we all applied. Imagine if we all got hired. Imagine if we all were good at it (and not just what we were supposed to do). Imagine if we all preferred building Wizard Empires instead of taking the Snowden path.
If "they" still don't get that this whole mass surveillance thing is a horrible idea —akin to handing out free nukes with sundaes— after imagining that then nothing can help them:) (maybe they've never ever met a genuine nerd or geek? Or maybe the have but didn't understand what they were seeing).

The managers aren't the people closest to the tools and the tools are the real power. The managers probably couldn't work it to save their own lives. <sarcasm>Good Idea™</sarcasm>.
From what I see here and elsewhere it's already like that and to the extreme in some places (and it brings an entirely new meaning to the name "Puzzle Palace"), the only difference is that "the powers that be" vainly believe they have such people under any meaningful degree of "control". That also applies to any/all machine intelligences and/or biological/neurological slaving.
