Comment on ICE Has a $2M Contract for Spyware That Can Hack Phones Without a Clickparent

Comments

The real terrifying aspect of this whole story has nothing to do with Milo Vs ICE.

It's the fact that these previously cartoonish figures on Twitter are now wielding some level of power.

People love to say "oh just get off those bad social medias", but that fails to recognize how there is now multiple social media sites exercising a high level of coercion and misinformation that is injecting the previously goofy "it's just online" into real life.

The white nationalism that has been boosted by Elon and co IS REAL. It will have lasting effects on every facet of our society. The people who used to be internet clowns are now deporting their enemies.

I can't emphasize this enough, this is BAD.

There is no one with any level of morals or ethics at the wheel. It makes too much money to tear apart society. You can bring up endless cliches, "mainstream media", "billionaires", "politics". But the fact is, news channels have spent endless hours covering Hassan(the twitch streamer) and avoiding actual news. Nearly every facet of society has been captured to manipulate us, and there is no good ending for any of this.
