Yes, our internet providers and mobile providers are in bed with the NSA, CIA, FBI, DOD, NIS and probably many other 3 letter agencies. But those aren’t the almost wholly unregulated Police of america staffed by literal gang-members in some jurisdictions. At least today that data is (ostensibly) behind a warrant.

This is terrifying enough of a privacy invasion at the nation-state level. It’s catastrophic to give police this authority and capability. If this comes to the U.S., we are fucking doomed.

OK, going to admit it - this one got a chuckle out of me. Well done on the mix of brand new and nostalgic meme.
