@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I can only see it as a bad faith argument because the same people seem to be for defunding scientific research in all other areas including on cancer treatments and climate change, support dodge in dismantling USAID and firing NOAA, FEMA, and FDA staff for which we are already seeing repercussions, spread anti-vax propoganda or are against mRNA vaccines in general and don’t make efforts to understand basic scientific principles. Meanwhile, ALPRs, such as Flock cameras, are proliferating and tech privacy is a big concern, yet the same people aren’t concerned about the US being impacted by other negative policies, such as China’s surveillance issues, lack of personal privacy, National Guard being deployed to US cities, or ICE hiding their identities. In fact, it feels very much like the people saying that ICE needs to wear masks because people might doxx them.
