Not the point, is it? The issue is our Freedom of Speech. In a public or private space we have the right to speak our mind, despite anyone agreeing or not.
My point is, that it isn't "spying". Infringement of our freedom of speech? Yes. But you arent spying on the new York times when You read their published articles. You aren't evesdropping on a sheboon when she's screaming across the target store.
The difference is making a statement and then having the statement used against you because it doesn't fit a narrative. Regardless of what venue, an article in a newspaper, screaming at a department store or posting a meme on social media, our speech is protected. Your argument using the NYT or someone screaming in the department store would be relevant if either were writing or yelling about the vaccine and why not to take it. As we now know, our government will step in and expect the NYT to correct their misinformed article and the yelling person to stop yelling the misinformation about the vaccine. The spying term used was the government dictating to social media to identify the people spreading what the government has determined "misinformation". No one was informed they were collecting this data and passing on profile information to the government. Public information aside, it would have been an impossible task to isolate anyone without the database.
It's called FACE....BOOK. Book of faces, anyone who heard that name and doxxed themselves, out any real opinion or anything should have seen this coming.
