>While bad, this isn't remotely the same either in scope or scale as China's similar issues. In the US you end up in this matrix if you're perceived to be a legitimate, real, prone-to-violent-acts threat. In China you end up in their "disposition matrix" if you say anything negative about anyone
There is nothing to this except "I'm fine when the US does it." You have no idea which targets are real, prone to violence threats, or how valid either states research is before acting. Further, even if you're fine with the current US targets Google is still fine giving them that data even though it's being used to kill people.
>What makes you believe Musk?
The ousted president blaming such foreign interests, the new president opening up the mines despite public protest, and why would I doubt him?
>No, it isn't. At least nominally some kind of additional oversight, e.g., via a FISA warrant, is required.
In the absolute best case scenario, this only stays their hand when working inside the country. Though, I don't agree that they face repercussions for violating these laws.
