You know, getting upset about this kind of thing with gaming was enough anger for me already.

For privacy to have inherent value, it first must be an established, inherent right. Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn’t talk about it to my knowledge. I’ve always inferred that our rights against unlawful search and seizure basically encapsulate the concept, but whatever.

It’s really sad as a clear landmark on the map of the US’s descent into scientific irrelevancy on the world stage.

As bad as those incidents were, they weren’t exactly government sanctioned. Police sanctioned, sure, and the government should do more to reign that shit in, but comparing them to Tiennamen is disingenuous at best.
The Chinese government hates letting its citizens have a voice.

I don’t mind keeping up with the goings on over there, but I can understand your point. I’m good as long as it doesn’t feel like the main talking point on Lemmy like it did there for a minute a few weeks back.
