    like yeah, we get it. they aren’t much better in that regard, but…maybe we wouldn’t have needless tariff wars, or verbal attacks on our closest allies, or ICE kidnapping American citizens, or American citizens being shipped to prisons in other countries, or concentration camps in America, or…had we voted for Harris and let Trump win(don’t even get me started on that bullshit).







  • you must have a lot of trust in your government.

    giving examples of what it’s used for doesn’t make it any better that you’re forced to install software on your personal device by your government for simply existing and is an invasion of privacy.

    in my country my government wanted to use facial recognition for online transactions that were previously accessible via government IDs. it was found that the facial recognition software was provided by a corporate identity provider that was then selling that same data to local police that then tracked people through local government surveillance.

    when it comes to technology, I have zero faith in every government in the world to have my best interests in mind. they are all guilty of either being complicit in eroding civil rights or negligent in upholding the protections built for civil liberties.
