> Politicians only change their positions if they think they'll lose votes because of it.

And you won't convince any of that party's voters to care about location privacy enough to make it a vote-changing issue if you open your argument by criticizing their party (which, yes, almost universally sucks) instead of talking about the actual issue, which is location privacy.

This is HN, no one here is ignorant of the issue. Even granting your framing, you're addressing the wrong audience. This is the choir here, not the laity.

Look, no, that's just wrong. Immigration enforcement overreach (and law enforcement overreach more generally) is an almost purely republican issue. Period. Trying to silence criticism, especially in this forum, is simply trying to deflect blame.

You are misinterpreting me in bad faith here.

How so? You don't want us discussing the fact that republican policymaking is behind the CBP overreach in the linked article. You... literally said so.
