Mozilla is not the largest advertising company on Earth whose core business is profiling people to package and sell them.
I think Intel's ME is much more complex than AMD's PSP. Does anyone know if AMD's PSP has a full network stack and the ability to interact with network hardware independent of the main CPU's OS?

How do we pressure our governments to do something? The US and EU already ban weapons sales to Myanmar but other countries are happy to step in and profit in their place, e.g. Israel providing training and selling weapons and vehicles to the very troops carrying out this genocide.

They'll do it eventually. It's too tempting not to. First they have break the barrier by getting a physical presence. They can slowly get to their main objective by rolling it out piece by piece. (Most) People won't even see it happening.

They are addicted to data because it pays and they're willing to do anything to get it. They dumped wireless data when doing Streetview photography even when they didn't have a reason. They captured location data from Android users without consent and secretly uploaded if later when they had connectivity. They have no credibility left in my opinion.

Wait for super accurate per person voice recognition and imagine the profiles they'll build.... Better ask your friends before you visit their place to switch off the telescreen!
