They're clearly used to violate the 4th Amendment by selling data to govt agencies without a warrant. They should be banned across the entire USA

Yeah. Fucking monsters are a treason against democracy. Anyone involved with their scheme should be criminally liable. They are stealing citizenship from everyone. That is high treason. We should be fighting their hardware AND going after these criminals with pitchforks because it is a soft coup. Trust as a mechanism is not compatible with liberal democracy. Trust is the primary tool of authoritarian monsters. Liberal democracy requires informed skepticism which is diametrically opposed to trust.
