Yes and they don't want foreign actors to have it... You would think they would see this security vulnerability a decade ago but I guess they thought they were so far ahead on the gestapo game. Now everyone realized that telling corpos trade this data is a bad idea. But instead of lobbying for proper frameworks to protect the citizens we limo dick advice from your "friendly" glowie.
Clown approach to public police and national security. Sometimes it feels like they aren't even trying to do their stated jobs, they are ein the business of pleb control if we go by their behaviour but they surely don't provide "national security"
I'm with ya. It's like they have given up governance and desperately want us to forget that's kinda what they're for
That's exactly what they've done because their goal is to run the country like their own company.
Which is why going forward I am open palm slapping anyone who tells me they want the country run like a business.
I think ross perot started it. Can i ask you to go back in time and get ta slappin'? Save the timeline!
You think the time line would be better if George Bush won?
You mean GHW Bush, grandson of Prescott Bush who was too busy helping Hitler get into power to take part in the Business Plot? That one?
You forgot the likely involvement with the assassination of JFK, too.
He would have won a second term if Ross Perot hadn't split the vote.
They really don't mind the westernized countries having it. Hell they share it with other 5 Eyes countries. What they very much mind is adversary nations having it.
The NSA was publicly warning about this in 2020 as part of the original "Ban TikTok" push. The DoD was working to limit location data on smartphones at least as far back as 2014 and they got the warning to do that from the NSA.
And yet this data is freely being traded as we speak...
Good job spooks 🤡
