> I expected to read about legal threats against the folks collecting this data and am glad that those didn't materialize. That's because the author folded over and played nice. Imagine if he exercised his first amendment rights.

Ummmm. Any country with the knowhow to make an ICBM can source or build a gps receive without said restriction. Just saying. That's like putting a sign "no burglary permitted" and leaving the door wide open.

I had this idea before of sending ballons to "the space" with a collectible object and then retrieve them, saying "I have this specific object that was in space too". Is it possible or am I dreaming too much?
Depending on your definition of space, this is what the Earth To Sky does to finance their helium balloons runs: https://www.earthtosky.store/about . I got a pendant for my partner, it was a nice gift.

I don't really see them saying fuck the US, even though they've bombed girls schools in Iran. Or saying fuck Israel because of their super well documented ongoing genocide. "You can disapprove of ... from many, many ethical perspectives without going near absolutism."
Did they find evidence of their service being used to bomb schools in Iran, like they found for Russia tracking launch sites in Ukraine? If not, then why would they go on such a tangent? Do you expect them to list every one of their personal geopolitical stances, regardless of the relevance to the article?
The author of the article lives in Melbourne, so I can assure you, they absolutely do given half a chance.

Rights only exist up until the point someone is willing to trample them.
Then you’ve got to be willing to fight for them.
At which point everyone’s rights go straight out the window.
