Good people working for bad companies have some small ability to change culture.<p>&quot;Is this legal?&quot;, &quot;Do I need a warrant to do this intercept?&quot;, &quot;Is this compatible with our rules?&quot;, &quot;What would our regulators say if they knew we did this?&quot;, &quot;How will the oversight and scrutiny committee respond to this action?&quot;<p>It&#x27;s not much, but it&#x27;s about as good as me from the outside writing a letter to my MP which is about all I can do.<p>EDIT: to expand on this a bit. Imagine you&#x27;re a mathematician and that you have a neuro-diversity.  In the past you may have struggled to get a job because employers sometimes discriminate against neuro-atypicality. GCHQ definitely does not do so - they mention in press releases they recognise the advantages of neuro-diversity. So one option would be something like the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research.  As an employer Google gives you 20% time.  Heilbronn gives you 50% time, 50% of the time you&#x27;re doing work directed by GCHQ&#x2F;CESG, the rest of the time you do what you like.  That is potentially interesting maths with interesting people.  The money at GCHQ isn&#x27;t great compared to the SV bubble, but for the UK it&#x27;s okay, and there other benefits.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bristol.ac.uk&#x2F;maths&#x2F;research&#x2F;heilbronn&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bristol.ac.uk&#x2F;maths&#x2F;research&#x2F;heilbronn&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.maths.bris.ac.uk&#x2F;research&#x2F;heilbronn_institute&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.maths.bris.ac.uk&#x2F;research&#x2F;heilbronn_institute&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;education&#x2F;educationnews&#x2F;11111584&#x2F;GCHQ-employs-more-than-100-dyslexic-and-dyspraxic-spies.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.telegraph.co.uk&#x2F;education&#x2F;educationnews&#x2F;11111584&#x2F;...</a>
