  Jesus Christ. Can’t you just read between the lines for two minutes? Every one of us has some government agency that reigns supreme in our respective geographic areas. Just fill in the blank, please.

  What does a nuclear power plant have to do with tracking my Google searches? You think TIkTok on someone’s phone is going to allow them to disable power plants? That’s much more of a stretch than what I was getting at. The FBI, and probably whoever you would deal with, are specifically buying personal data for this exact purpose–to build profiles on people and to use it against us for whatever purpose they desire.

    News flash genius, they don’t need to hack my router to see my Google search history. Google will happily provide that to them.

    The dangers of a man in the middle attack extend far beyond viewing my Google searches and I have more to fear from a foreign adversarial state actor infecting systems across my country than I do one allied with my own.

    But at the end of the day, both are unwanted.
