Given a lot of journalists and activists use encrypted communications to be able to do their job without being unduly or unjustly persecuted (yes, the bad guys use them too!), and 12 US State Attorney Generals just signed a letter and delivered it to the major news agencies (NYT, CNN, Reuters, AP, etc.) that warns of any "support to terrorist organizations" and specifically points out Hamas, but is not very clear on what "support" or "business relationship" means (sending a camera to do a report where the press is not allowed due to Israel's complete control of the media - echoes of US journalist access during the Iraq War), and puts them on notice. Nothing is safe from Big Brother, anywhere, any country.

- andrei_says_ 3y agoAt this point any “both sides are the same” argument should be seen as either incredibly misguided or intentionally malicious. Look for representatives who represent more or at least some of our actual interests. An ideologically united group which has been working to actively disrupt the election process and turn women into breeding property, combined with unlimited surveillance? Might not be the “same”.
