- jjkeddo199 3y agoAt the risk of sounding hyperbolic: Imagine Iranian agents using these address books to track down naval officers in San Diego from across the border in Tijuana. Having a global address book lowers the barrier for hunting people down and hurting them. This is already happening to off-duty Russian officers mowing the lawn at home.
- yogurtboy 3y agoI kind of agree with your sentiment but your final note about murdered Russian officers needs a citation
- ickelbawd 3y agoLiterally the first result when searched for: https://nypost.com/2023/08/29/russian-lieutenant-colonel-mowing-lawn-blown-up-by-drone/ https://nypost.com/2023/08/29/russian-lieutenant-colonel-mow... Edit: not the person making the claim, nor am I particularly vested in this story or its validity. But it took me all of 5 seconds to find.
- autoexec 3y agoBeing able to look up someone's address normally isn't a problem. Extremists and nut jobs being able to compile a list of people whose religion, political views, sexual preferences, medical conditions, and purchase habits makes them a target for violence is the problem. At that point being able to find them (using their street address or even real time geolocation data) becomes a pretty big part of that threat.
