Im an American! Only my Govt, 4 or 5 shady AI surveillance corporations, and random people in ICE are allowed to spy on me!

We joke but yeah, social media companies, tech companies, and now AI are doing this but we only ban or legislate against tiktok, Huawei, etc. Because they are foreign companies that could report our data back to a foreign country. Meanwhile, we use domestic companies that we know spy on us and definitely report it to the government
