Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Misread your initial comment, sure, messaging apps without E2EE can turn over your messages, this was never a topic of conversation.

    And I don’t need to debunk claims that were never proven to begin with. That’s not how this works.

    • Admission is good enough for proof in my book, barring coercion which I don’t think the DHS lawyer or life360 was being subjected to at the time. If they aren’t doing it why should they lie and say they are? Furthermore, you assert that it is “illegal” for them to buy the data, the DHS lawyer disagrees, so does the US Government (here’s the NBC article I got that from), in this US Government document, and frankly it does seem to be a loophole. Can you direct me to the law preventing federal agencies from buying data from data brokers? If it is in fact illegal, there is a law somewhere that says so, can you point me to that?

      You’re wrong my dude.

      • Jesus man, I’m not sitting around waiting to reply to your comments, this is not a real time conversation, this is social media, get used to latency for fucks sake. Yeah sure, I’m secretly a federal agent tasked with spreading evil agendas across Lemmy, whatever.
