    Every US company: Yay I need my data stealing app to know who I’m mad at

      There’s a difference between companies stealing data to sell or target ads to you and the government tracking everything you do so they can black bag you if you’re too subversive. Neither is great but uninstalling Facebook isn’t that hard.

        I’m going to assume that is and US private company has your data, they probably already sold it to the government.

        so a company harvesting data, and a government doing it are practically the same

        lets not forget that the US government also has its data harvesting programs.

          Sure, but again, the US isn’t black bagging me. They’re too busy doing it to immigrants.

          Wait. Shit.
