    Can’t we try and fund our own armed compounds for whistleblowers?

    Especially the ones that benefit working class cause like this guy - because AI stealing our data is a threat to all of us.

      It’s so bad because people will happily cheer it on. But eventually it will just be used to go after political opponents and just classes of people that whoever is in charge doesn’t like. We have so, so many dumb and sometimes even conflicting crimes on the books that the average American unwittingly breaks a few federal laws and usually a myriad of state laws (most being outdated or blue book laws) every week. For some people near state borders it can be everyday.
