    Funny! In America it is against our constitution but we allow the NSA to do it because when we protest we get killed, arrested or our lives ruined.

    I protested the illegal separation and detention of children at the border. It was literal torture. The government later found that their own actions were illegal. In the meantime, I was arrested and beaten and on bail conditions for over 6 months before being found not guilty. The officers who beat me were given immunity. They decided not to keep the tapes at the facility after we requested they keep them because of the assault.

    I am a disabled veteran and was a career federal employee.

    This is America.

    Maybe a dumb question, but how the hell would they access my camera/geolocation etc? On e.g. a stock pixel device, would the french police have an actual backdoor through google? Or would it be through compromised shitty apps (like the chat app that was being used by criminals a while back, which was actually made by the police)?
