Novel Full 37 (FISA)
By the second week of its release it had already reached a whopping 357 million downloads.
This was an unprecedented rise of an app and it became a conversation starter, leading to more people hearing about it leading to more people downloading it.
A positive feedback loop, a perpetual machine of success, a fusion reactor for relevance and a dark energy producer of conversation.
DAMN!!!
Anyway the number of users kept increasing more and more prompting media outlets to talk about it leading to a wave of free advertisement HAHAHAHA.
But while all these were opening something sinister was happening behind-d their backs.
…
Google HQ.
“What steps are you taking in breaking the program?” Asked Bob.
Bob was responsible for breaking the security of the so called GAIA program, as orders from above wanted them to crack and learn how the AI works for them to implement it to their own AI.
“We are trying but it proves to be difficult because we haven’t managed to find how the inception even works for us to begin trying to crack it” Replied a man with deep dark circles, pointing that he might have not had a peaceful sleep of more than an hour for days.
“The upper echelons are pestering me to know where we are, just increase the number of people working on it. I don’t care how many of them you bring, just finish it fast or else we are dead, understood!!” Said the man showing his frustration, this meant that the higher up were really pestering him to find something.
Alas what they don’t know is that they will never be able to do that.
Aaaaah pour souls.

The same was happening to Apple, Microsoft Samsung and any technological company you can think of.
They ended up choosing this way because the company that made it denied everything from buying them up to selling some of their shares or anything of that matter.
Everything was denied by them. This was even after companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple and Samsung offered to buy them for about 30 billion dollars or more causing frustration on many people.
…..
This was also not the only thing keeping the company busy as the legal department were working their asses off to remove anything that was imitating the program and the likeness of it.
This was because the moment the app became famous nearly 15 copycats appeared, although they had no functions similar to the real program, they wanted to prevent users going to them which in return will make their real program seem like a scam.
They were giving out DMCA takedowns left and right like Oprah, those seize and desist letters were going out faster than they could comprehend.
…..
While everyone in the company was happy about the success of the product, Sarah wasn’t among them because she was currently reading a letter with the members of the legal department.

Subject: Request for Compelled Access to Proprietary Technology under FISA
Dear [GAIA Technology Executive],
I am writing to inform you that the government of the United States, under the orders of President Barack Obama, is requesting access to your company’s proprietary technology known as BugZapper, pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). As you may be aware, FISA is a federal law that governs electronic surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence information within the United States.
The government has reason to believe that BugZapper may contain information that is relevant to ongoing foreign intelligence gathering efforts. As such, we are requesting that GAIA Technology comply with a court order issued under FISA, which will require you to provide access to BugZapper to authorized government personnel for the purposes of foreign intelligence gathering.
We understand that the protection of proprietary technology is of great importance to your company. However, we believe that the potential national security benefits of accessing BugZapper outweigh the potential risks to your company’s proprietary interests. We also assure you that the government will take all necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of any proprietary information obtained through this process.
Please note that non-compliance with a FISA court order can result in legal penalties and other serious consequences. We urge you to comply with this request in a timely manner to avoid any further legal action.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Chuck Hagel
Secretary of defense
Department of Defense(DOD)

‘They are fucking good with timing, why now? when the owner is still in bed and hasn’t woken up’ she thought while squashing the letter.
“What steps can we take to fight against it?” Sarah asked.
“Well, there are a few potential ways to fight back against a FISA court order,” said the lawyer while putting his documents down “First, we could challenge the order in court, arguing that it violates our constitutional rights or that the government doesn’t have sufficient evidence to justify the request for access to their proprietary technology. However, this can be difficult and it may not ultimately be successful.”
“Another approach could be to negotiate with the government and try to reach a compromise solution that protects our company’s interests while still providing some level of access to the technology,” he continued. “This might involve limiting the scope of the access, requiring the government to sign non-disclosure agreements, or other measures to safeguard the company’s intellectual property. But as we know they can just breach it if they want.”
“But all of these would only work if the government decides to take their time or the president can just pass these steps citing urgency and other things.” the lawyer finished with his explanation, his explanation implied that they can only try to fight back if the government allows it.
“Try using the court way first so that we can buy time” Sarah chose the first option because she wanted to buy time for GAIA OS reach the needed number of people to initiate the OS Exodus, Because if it becomes public that the government forced them to give up something it might be used as a reason to deter people from deciding to fully move to GAIA OS.
Another reason is to buy time until Aron wakes up, so that he can decide by himself. This was because he told her to not give anyone access to the program without his permission and she didn’t want to give it up also.
‘I hope he wakes up before the government loses patience with us and decides to overturn the table’ Prayed Sarah for his health so he can wake up and decide by himself.
