Here we are back at the same argument that I just brought:

The definition of what "hostile" is is very arbitrary and can be defined to suit your political agenda.

The people. We voted for the people who gave the power, and we re-elected them. It’s really that simple. Is it “too late” now? maybe, but we had ~25 years since this all started post 911 to react, and chose not to.

Nobody ever voted for mass surveillance. There's no party you can vote for in the US that doesn't advocate for total mass surveillance by the federal government. Don't pretend this is a red/blue thing. The military-industrial complex is fully integrated with both parties in the US.

Who is the worst actor when it comes to mass surveillance?

Government or big tech?

So, it says here in this app right here, that you behave in a hostile manner.

I still don't understand. Who gave ICE such power, and who is ordering them to do all this? To me, ICE's actions are similar to those of a private army.

Believe it or not, immigration authorities (like the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency) have the power to enforce immigration laws. The author isn't American. Edit - wait until y'all find out other countries also have borders and laws...

Did you completely miss the news in January? ICE killed an innocent american citizen. The person responsible never got arrested or jailed.

This isn't about enforcing the law, its the book definition of fascism, and we're letting it happen.

> wait until y'all find out other countries also have borders and laws...

Legal citizens are being arrested based on no evidence. where in your law book says this is legal?

Notable exception: the TikTok ban.

>Now if you search for the USS Liberty, you get no results and instead a hardcoded link to a 'holocaust museum' website as the only result.

That's a lie. A search[0] shows these as the first three results:

USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia [1]

USS Liberty incident | Facts, Deaths, & Investigation | Britannica [2]

'We're Fed Up With It': Survivors of the USS Liberty Look for Answers [3]

In fact, the entire first page (and much of the second) of search results are specifically about the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty. There are no links to the Holocaust Museum anywhere to be found. Did you make up that lie yourself, or are you just blindly parroting what others tell you to believe?

Edit: Apparently (or at least that was claimed here[4]), GP was referring to searches on TikTok, not general web searches. I can neither confirm nor deny as I don't use that cesspit (or any other of those odious sewers). If it is true, it's just another good reason not to use that dumpster fire.

The behavior at issue is not hostile, it’s a patriotic duty. We typically laude immigrants who assimilate, so why not in this case?

P.S.: Supposing you went beyond rude, like violating a noise-ordinance with a megaphone, or "littering" with pamphlets, or trespassing to chain yourself to a tree...

While the rest of your comment is sound, the police do not make "big bucks" by any stretch of the imagination and there's a serious citation needed for the job being less dangerous than the ones you listed. I am pretty sure I have never read multiple news articles like "landscaper shot while sitting in vehicle filling paperwork" or "armed man commits suicide by bartender". I have numerous friends and acquaintances in…

>Policing is a dangerous job, just not for everyone all the time on the whole

Actually, it doesn't even make the top 25[0]. So no, not really all that dangerous. Being around police, especially with a high melanin content is definitely more dangerous than being police.

To channel George Carlin: "It's not that I don't like the police, I just feel better when they're not around."

Hmmm.

Someone with the barest modicum of honesty might have noticed that the comment above you was talking about searching on TikTok, not on DuckDuckGo.
