I definitely am not trying to make you believe anything, nor am I defending any past actions of the CIA (I don't know enough about all that to have an opinion). My comment is only based on my own review of all documents released so far in Vault 7. All indications show that these tools are made for use on specific targets, applied on devices by a human operator or asset.

It's very clear we have different ideological opinions on the actions of the CIA. The actions of US intelligence agencies over the last decade (at least) is absolutely disgusting.
Replying here because I can't on your post.

If the CIA is able to use those zero days on systems which provide them access to larger sets of information, then what you're saying is objectively wrong.

That may be the case. I was only replying to "that cache of zero days and all those DLLs aren't for mass surveillance" from your comment, again, due to the fact that zero days cannot be reasonably used for mass surveillance as it would drastically shorten their lifetime.
