- john_strinlai 2mo agomaybe trickle-down privacy will be more successful than trickle-down economics. one can hope.
- jlarocco 2mo agoIf they cared about the troops, they wouldn't send them on bullshit missions like whatever we're doing in Iran.
- macintux 2mo agoTrump has demonstrated repeatedly, emphatically, and publicly that he does not care about the troops, or at least certainly not injured/captured/killed ones. Or minorities. Or non-citizens fighting for the country. Or citizens with non-citizen spouses/fiancees/parents.
- bigyabai 2mo agoThe US will still surveil the troops and citizens. All this does is reduce the commercial attack surface for adversaries, privacy be damned.
- tencentshill 2mo agoThe "buying from advertisers" strategy was a workaround, and has yet to be properly tested in court. Hopefully we'll get that loophole closed soon. They also use it heavily for recruitment to pinpoint the most desperate youth.
