<< 16. Their taxpayer-backed conclusions: the state should have total access to data to make searching speech easier, speech offenders should be put in a “holding area," and government should probably restrict disinformation, “even if it means losing some freedom.”
This should be chilling to anyone paying attention.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt shouldn't surprise anyone paying attention, though. It's common knowledge that FAANG complies with hundreds-of-thousands of subpeonas for personal data, these "Twitter files" are peanuts next to what Snowden revealed about Facebook 9 years ago.
- starkd 4y agoBut search warrants and subpoenas generally respect a due process. This reveals an elaborate government/corporate partnership to subvert due process. Not to mention free speech. The first amendment applies because you can no longer say "because its a private company".
