    I mean we all already assumed the government was tracking us all anyway. Surprised they don’t just subcontract out mass surveillance to Palantir at this point, Peter Thiel clearly needs the money

      It isn’t great that we make these assumptions and make comments that say just “duh, we know.” When news is posted about the situation.

        Even democrats (let’s be honest they’re the Conservative Party, republicans are now just plain fascist) have acted to preserve our surveillance state, and nobody has done jack shit about Meta and Google and Amazon cataloging every aspect of our lives. At this point the only chance for privacy is to move to an underdeveloped country and get a dumb phone, or move to Europe where for the moment they still have some privacy laws. Without a literal revolution none of that will change in the US.

          its a uniparty, a coalition party at best. which is why you have no issues passing defense budget, and pro-israeli agendas.
