And yet they have no hesitation to use the entire national security apparatus to chase a foreign national around the world for publishing some scientific papers.
- 0x5f3759df-i 5y agoAn American law enforcement agency requesting data from an American company is a far cry from "chasing a foreign national around the world". I think it's a waste of time as much as anyone else but Sci-hub is clearly against US law. Just because you disagree with the value of a law enforcement action doesn't mean you are living in a "police state"

Sci-hub has nothing to do with US law. > Just because you disagree with the value of a law enforcement action doesn't mean you are living in a "police state" Uncritically buying one's national government's claim to global jurisdiction, justifying "law enforcement actions" against foreign citizens in foreign lands in the frigging first place, on the other hand... That seems to indicate some kind of successful indoctrination into a pro-police-state mindset.
