This is factually wrong. They are doing it based on the principles of equality and freedom. This is exactly what those terms mean. Your freedom is only limited if its execution limits the freedom of others. In this case he was free to browser the documents, but he was also impeding on the freedom of that corporation. Same with equality, it seems immoral when the rich always win. But morality is just a WAY OF DEALING with the contradictions of that are inherent to our economic system. People need to understand that freedom and equality can only be enforced by the state and people actually WANT the state to have the monopoly on the use of force. Separation of power and being democratic can be deduced from that too.

Several revolutions along the history of mankind show that freedom will frequently be enforced only by the revolutionary acts of the people. The government is only an agent of the dominant class.

I haven't studied revolutions much but I know they are the ultimate form of authoritarianism. The last one actually enforced freedom. There is no opressor class in capitalism, both want the state and most even confirm it every 4 years. In a democracy the government is exchangeable but the economic conditions remain. That's why Democrats will always increase the mil budget and the Reps will always leave some social welfare.
