Read this, please. They are targeting phone data without warrants. It's an invasion of privacy & breaking of laws, yes. But the implications of people with shitty, shady, and stalkery intentions make it so much worse. Abuse on the people, by their government.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
