    So big tech sold there services to USA to target Iran, then turned around and sold Iran target data for USA troops.

    That is so Google.

    The US government overturned the privacy protections of Roe v Wade and what did they expect?

    Leopards eating faces, letting an entire industry specialized in collecting intelligence write their own regulations and run wild 😜.

    Get your shit together, America. If it takes your soldiers getting killed for you to rein in big tech and ad tech, that is a sacrifice I am definitely willing to make for the sake of a better internet.

      Nothing will be done about it.

      Actually, if they do anything, they’ll probably just ban personal phones entirely and lock down issued devices. Because that’s the easiest solution instead of dealing with the root cause.

        You are absolutely correct, that is exactly what will happen, if at all. Even for a country that loves its military as much as America, they probably love their surveillance techbros even more.
