Spare me your histrionics. Just stop.

War is a blunt instrument. No Russian general is checking Ukrainian’s shopping lists. No Israeli official is checking what tiktoks the Palestinians are watching.

No, it is NOT all identical. You’re manufacturing scenarios that don’t exist. You've jumped from war to authoritarians to corporations just throwing as many darts at the board as you can while pounding the table and making huge leaps to conflate everything. There’s zero logic to your rant. Whatever.

Did you even read the OP? It's not just about war. It's about the power of privacy across the board.

The literal only thing splitting information into "tactical information" tells anyone is that the person doing so is clueless and absurdly unimaginative. Again, ignoring that totalitarian governments are completely within scope, "basic" spying has expose sensitive military installations, among many, many other things.

Did you even read my disagreement with the OP or did you just skip to my disagreements out of context?

Unfortunately, I did.

There is no context where your "disagreements" have a shred of merit. They're pure idiocy.
