*A further seven [[Federation|Federal]] factions have severed ties with the superpower in protest against government monitoring of communications. These latest secessions have been undertaken by minor factions that do not control any systems, including Unktock Free, United Posenoi League and Progressive Party of Inggale. Political journalist [[Sofia Trevino]] reported for The [[Federal Times]]: "Eight factions had previously declared [[Independent|independence]] from the Federation, and now an even greater number forms the third wave of [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|rebellion]]. It's clear that their populations feel empowered to take a stand against losing their constitutional rights of privacy. Vice President Archer shrugged off this latest development, maintaining that 'the [[Proactive Detection Bureau]] performs a vital security role in these troubled times'. Since none of these latest factions currently govern a system, he may also believe that resistance to the PDB is on the wane. Although these events have only impacted a small part of Federal territory, they remain an embarrassment for [[Zachary Hudson|President Hudson's]] administration. [[Felicia Winters|Shadow President Winters]] continues to implore [[Federal Congress|Congress]] to repeal the [[Domestic Counter-Terrorism Act]], but she has also taken political criticism since many feel her rhetoric inspired these factions to secede."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/613f3d4bc31cf61ae31cda95 GalNet: Rebellion Spreads Through the Federation]</ref> | |||

*[[Alliance]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] leaders have responded to the recent wave of [[Federation|Federal]] systems declaring [[Independent|independence]]. Eight factions have now [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|severed ties]] with the Federation, in response to government surveillance of all private and public communications. In an interview with The [[Alliance Tribune]], [[Alliance Prime Minister|Deputy Prime Minister]] [[Angela Corcoran]] remarked: "The [[Proactive Detection Bureau]]'s intrusive nature has caused millions of people to rightfully demand self-rule. [[President of the Federation|President]] [[Zachary Hudson|Hudson]] should be fearful that history might view him as the Federation's first dictator." [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]'s comments were featured by [[Eye on Achenar]]: "Of course the Federation's factions are turning against it. The arrogance and corruption of its leaders will inevitably cause it to rot from within. We can expect to see it dissolve into chaos before long." Federal newsfeed [[Sol Today]] published a response by Vice President Jerome Archer: "Both the Alliance and Empire have chosen a reactionary approach to terrorism, whereas the Federation has made great strides in intelligence-gathering and preventative action. I'm confident that the Proactive Detection Bureau will come to be accepted as one of the galaxy's greatest innovations."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/612f69fedd437b0cd13e80e3 GalNet: Federation Criticised by Alliance and Empire]</ref> | *[[Alliance]] and [[Empire|Imperial]] leaders have responded to the recent wave of [[Federation|Federal]] systems declaring [[Independent|independence]].
