What are they so afraid of that they need to invasively spy on everyone?

I don’t think they need to be afraid of anything. They could just be looking for more blackmail material or just the raw feeling of the power to watch me take a number two whenever they want.

The usual. Journalists, democracy, threats to fascism and corporate profits at home and abroad.

Is it for p0rn watching? I feel like with the current Temporary Speaker of The House, it would be for p0rn watching

Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.

It’s incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don’t paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.

Start displaying the real stuff.
