... wtf is going on over there... What kind of douchebags did you guys elect? I mean, I'm American, I know I can't throw stones here, but y'alls were better than that. You like, wisely stood against our 9/11 invasion and we probably should've listened.

But, wtf?

btw, if anyone was too lazy to dig, this publication is a nigerian newspaper that actually seems legit. Founded in 2020, so pretty new still. Looking at their front page they mostly just do local reporting. Has had run-ins with local power.

You know that America just... does this, right? No bill, no law... In fact it was the first to do this at all. It's why in crime shows they remove the battery (from phone where you still can, of course.)

It is not legal for police to spy on citizens via their phone cameras in the US…

Police, no. Homeland security? crickets

Still no. Do they do it anyway? Probably, but that doesn't make it legal.

If I do something, people find out about it, and I don’t get arrested, it’s defacto legal

[–] sangle_of_flame@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

are they gonna get in trouble for doing it, even if the government finds out?

probably not, so it's practically legal; and that's kind of the only kind of legality that matters in this case
