@hexanol@mastodon.social I bet they would say it's to do exactly that The (supposed) only way to spot all the Russian spies is to perform mass surveillance so you can "query" who is talking to this known Russian agent, as it could be anyone and you have no leads It would *never* be used domestically *of course not* -- unless it was *really* important, we promise 🙄 The US and UK have been doing it for decades to defend their massive empires, and now they want one too
