I don’t really understand the thought behind the question. In the sense of legality? Obviously. In the sense of someone saying something? Obviously. In the sense that people have free will? No. The people that work at water facilities are typically technically government employees. If all of them suddenly went rogue would you count that as “the government doing it”? Because they wouldn’t be acting in line with the government, but they’re still “the government.”

So, no, but actually yes, but actually no.

It’s like saying “what’s actually preventing a secret service member from shooting the president?” Nothing? Everything? How do you answer?
