in my own opinion, we already have the systems one of them is gNewSense
what we *do* need is for people
to develop and reverse engineer the drivers and groups of activist
throwing a lot of pressure to company's, and when I say pressure

activism, in front of their buildings and such, this has worked well for
other movements.
