A RIDDLE: what does it look like when the FDA mimics the NSA as the NSA mimics Google?

Ehh..hello?  Which US agency is this? Google is that you?!
..I need an Adroid upgrade for my Smart phone.
BTC- Over two days time, I have seen a couple of strange comparisons. The line between public and private is not just blurry or smudged, but completely removed. For example, in Washington State you can now register to vote using Facebook, who won an intelligence service award from the CIA last week.

Today, Julian Sanchez analyzed the environment where judgements were made by the FDA to conduct their business like the NSA, whose lawyers greenlit a sort of liability insurance over suit for surveilling their whistleblowers. However, just yesterday the NSA was called on the mat by the Senate for using clandestine browser tracking tech, just like Google. This may mimic another technocratic panic as the 'O' Administravia begins to look more and more like the legendary overextended Hans Brinker.  The ECPA (electronic privacy law) stands mute because it applies to cell phones which are 5 lbs and had antennae 1.5 ft long from an LA car phone... in 1986. It pre-dates "the Internet technology".

So here is your riddle: What does it look like when the FDA mimics the NSA as the NSA mimics Google?
