> I went to a presentation and talked with people from the NSA before and at face value they seemed like a silicon valley tech company.

Why is that a reason to trust them?

> They all seemed like they genuinely thought what they were doing was helping people.

The worst people in history all thought they were doing good too.

> As a an extra piece of information that I found interesting, they were pushing the diversity stuff hard

Diversity at the NSA doesn't factor whatsoever into whether I trust them or not. The damage they've done to secure communications and their cavalier attitude to dragnet surveillance is all I need to know about them.

Don't buy into the PR bullshit.
