"criminals" and "democratic states" are very subjective terms.
- JCWasmx86 5y agoI agree with you. You would have to find some accurate definition for "What is a democracy?", e.g. look at the freedom of press, freedom of election (E.g. are there any inconsistencies in the last elections), conflicts in a country. Based on a lot of factors you could probably say "This is a democracy" or "This is somewhere between". But still no good solution. And criminal would be too far, as such spyware should only be used against extremely serious crimes, e.g. warcrimes or terrorism
- tut-urut-utut 5y agoRather the opposite, they should be used only against “small crimes”, since those crimes are universal. What you call serious crimes are highly political topics. Ones hero is anothers war criminal, and the same guy may be both freedom fighter and terrorist, depending who you ask.
- seoaeu 5y agoThe exact lines might be blurry, but that doesn't mean you can't try. Like there's plenty of countries that plainly aren't democracies
- imwillofficial 5y agoSo in your mind, democracy is the only valid form of government?
