It's a go to for dark market comms these days, but other than that, this is the first I've seen it mentioned on clear net. I also didn't know it was closed-source and privately-owned in the U.S., which should have been a red

Sure, if this had precedence. Would you say illegal actions taken by the president are relevant to whether they should continue to have power? This is the question that non-partisan people are considering.

The Fakespot browser extension has been a lifesaver in this regard: https://www.fakespot.com/ The only problem is that Fakespot will only update it's product review analyses on demand, and some of them are years old.

I bought a counterfeit hummingbird feeder on Amazon, which leaked sugary water everywhere. I didn't even know it was counterfeit until I saw the identical one at Home Depot. Surprised that HD would sell something so non-functional, I
