Two very good points here.

All of the yelling and screaming today is based on a straw-man broken mental model of what GUBA does. People seem genuinely to not understand.

And indeed, where are the lawsuits? So far as I know, there haven't been any. Lots of the folks posting anti-GUBA sentiments today can afford lawyers; if they haven't sued, it's because their lawyers have explained that they would lose. Which means GUBA isn't committing any of the crimes or torts they stand accused of.
