Why are you ok with state surveillance when you’re a resident?

  I'm not ok with it (and said as much), but it's not equivalent to a foreign adversary surveilling us.

    Ok, so what about a foreign "ally"? Considering fb and google are known to have been compromised by israeli intelligence I'm not really sure there is practically much difference. https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-former-israeli-spies-working-top-jobs-google-facebook-amazon/282413/ https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-former-israeli-spies-... This seems like it is political and about removing chinese competition from american markets. The protecting American's privacy from foreign actors bit is pure rhetoric not likely to be applied to american companies in the same market even though there is similar exposure.

      IDF also trains police forces across America on how to use the surveillance tech that’s been deployed to them
