🤦Oh, it’s the Snowden revelations all over again.

They are claiming that AI-powered mass surveillance is a good thing but mass **domestic** surveillance isn’t

@fj So they're admitting that mass surveillance is incompatible with democracy (good, we need written confessions). They are also saying they don't want to do mass surveillance inside the USA, and so only the USA deserves democracy. Am I reading this correctly?

@flpdisk @fj yes. "democracy for me but not for thee" has been the USA's modus operandi for decades. Both political parties adhere to this philosophy, so it's not really surprising. Not that the "democracy" here was ever all that to begin with.
