    His leaks basically confirm tech imperialism and the violation of digital sovereigty via export of nonfree software. Things like malware specifically designed for backdooring nonfree programs.

    I’m glad that digital sovereignty is entering the conversation more and more in leftist circles.

    Proprietary software is a paper tiger that can be defeated.

      Do you think agencies like CNN or MSNBC would dare use the term “dystopian” to describe the US? Something about that word just seems like an escalation that sorta normalizes the leftish part of saying the quiet part out loud if that makes sense

        CNN and MSNBC would never describe the US as anything but a paragon of “freedom” right after reporting on how a man was beaten to death by police for refusing to purchase Israeli anal lube

      Shit like this shows exactly why the US was so mad about Huawei in Europe but if you show it to a lib they’ll just double down on CNN talking points.
