    How is this even legal? I am not even american nor living there, so how would the US be allowed to operate massive and unregulated surveillance through GPUs ?

    The US is becoming worse than those they call villain.

      The US has very low engagement of its voters, so even things that are illegal are starting to happen regularly.

      It’s the same as so many countries, once a few rich guys get into power, as long as the guys with guns will take their money, it doesn’t really matter what want, the government gets captured and corrupted.

      There’s ways to fight it but it’s a slog. I might give up. It’s not my job to fix it, fixing things doesn’t pay.

        Isn’t it the reason for donald? Only like 60% vote, so the “stupid 30%” of the population can be used to grab the power seat?

          Basically yes. That’s why Fox News is such an important instrument to the movement. They get their voters primed up and angry all year. They came out and voted against trans people in bathrooms and they are okay to suffer if that is achieved

      If you’re in Europe I’m pretty sure those chips would violate the hell out of the GDPR and as such can’t be sold there.

      Even then, as posted in a different too level comment, this is just too easy to fake, or block.

      It’s an idiot law for idiots
