The first amendment, apparently. The constitution DEFENDS my right to harvest data on millions of users and sell it! If that's not freedom, i don't know what is!
I wonder if Protons cuck CEO still thinks the fascists will reign in big tech... Fuckin dumbass.
That power, to spy wholesale on the American public, is the source of a massive amount of wealth and, more importantly, power.
Our elites are never going to give it up.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better it's not just the US. The middle east is full of surveillance states, and now european countries want a piece of the pie and are now trying to surveil their population as much as possible.
