  That's what happens when people are trained from birth that money is always more important than anything else.

> Lone wolf creepers or quasi legal harassment companies have access to similar tools. I would take that for granted, as I do with any government, including mine. But thinking that you're more likely to be kept under surveillance by the same government -no matter the color- you fund with your taxes, than some private or foreign entity, makes this even more revolting. Makes one think if nationalism was invented as a tool to throw smoke in the eyes and minds of people so that they can't see their rulers for what they really are.

  Hatred of anything not progressive, and especially of conservatives.

  What "criminal acts" are you specifically talking about?

  Nobody wants to deal with parler, and that's their prerogative. Free market and all that. What criminal acts?

  I'd guess because it's total cosplay. Edit: "Severe psychological warning, this package is only available for use on clients over 30 years of age." ...because a 26 year old can't handle getting a dildo in the mail?

Cheaper than ever for anyone to spy on anyone else, esp with the social media skinner boxes out there with hardware frontends. Getting cheaper by the day…
