    I think you’re trying to insinuate that the US government is the only one that’s buying data from data brokers to spy on its own citizens. I hope we can both agree that that’s bad and we don’t like that idea, but I don’t know what makes you think this isn’t also happening elsewhere. Do you have reason to believe it’s not?

      No, I just don’t fucking care about one specific country that can’t shut the fuck up for one second whilst constantly complaining about everything and effectively doing nothing besides complaining.

      Every normal autocratic country would just wiretap their citizen like they did in 2010 but no… that one country needs to buy the information because they are such peasants and then they need a big giant article about it.

      Oh yeah and also: If you put your data everywhere of course everyone can get it. Insert suprised pikachu here.
