Australia is, and France is their ally.
The fears, however reasonable you may find them, are largely that it presents a danger of foreign information gathering of detailed behavioral/location/interest/social network information on a huge swath of the U.S. population which can be used either for intelligence purposes or targeted influence/psyops campaigns within the U.S.
Tbh, I’m troubled by my own government doing that to us.
How about making data collection other than necessary to operate a website illegal, then making the sale of that data illegal, and absolutely require a warrant to collect it, including from FISA court?
Governments the world over. They know who pays them more.
Made me laugh. Thanks.

Maybe tech school should require electives like philosophy, logic, ethics, sociology and psychology classes? This used to be required here, but isn’t, anymore.
Legislators have been ignoring the vote, too.
You’re very welcome, and thank you. This pretty little pie brought back fond memories of my childhood and grandparents, on both sides. We had apples, pears, peaches, and gardens full of delicious foods.

But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.
Not to mention diseases that are about to hit. It blows my mind that people who had this done to them are doing it to their neighbors; and that people who fought a global war to say it’s reprehensible send them weapons, and repeat excuses they know are lies.
It’s odd you mention jingoism, because I was surely thinking about jingoism and revanchism in this context, over the last couple of weeks.
