Edited title to be more sensationalist - this is a Seattle local thing

> The Seattle Shield website states that its mission β€œis to provide a collaborative and information-sharing environment between the Seattle Police Department and public/private partners in the Seattle area. Seattle Shield members assist Seattle Police Department efforts to identify, deter, defeat or mitigate potential acts of terrorism by reporting suspicious activity in a timely manner.”

> For instance, the Church of Scientology, U.S. Navy, and the Washington State Military Department told Prism that they are no longer working with the network.

That first one took me by surprise. What a random hodgepodge of organizations.

I'm convinced Meta is a cult with Total control. It will go to any lengths to make money.

Having a coalition of mega corporations all allied with each other isn't any better than having a strong government. Both are dangerous to personal liberties. I think we're due for a break up of these companies. No more Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. We the people need to start taking power back.

Looks like a nothingburger? It's unfunded. An email describes a protest without giving a framing that the site would prefer. Then it turns out that nobody knows what it does, but it might do something bad.

I'm all for transparency and accountability but my assumption is that the bad things being done by LEO and intelligence are far worse than this.

As an American, I genuinely trust my data with China more than I do with the United States.

So what you're saying is that everyone that works at Amazon and Facebook are now at grave risk because the bad guys now think they're informants?

Ah the new dark pool. Does anyone remember those from the trading? I still remember ARCA (good rebate back in the day), ECN (very fluid and very cheap), and a few dark pools that I used to get out of a trade quickly.
