It could actually be a good thing, since it opens up the possibility of unsnoopable channels of communication, using encryption that would be disrupted by any attempt to intercept it.

Still not sure whether OP is Pete Hegseth.

This is some amazing satire. What a great find.

I doubt the courts would be respected even if they ruled against it. Trump is currently ignoring the courts to have people illegally kidnapped and deported to foreign prisons, with no due process, some of them to be enslaved there for life:

From that article:

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences. … Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

There’s not really anything wrong with being incompetent, so long as you have the humility to admit it and learn from people who know better, and try not to cause harm. That’s not Musk’s minions though.

Yes, and I’ve heard people say “It’ll be OK; the strain that goes pandemic won’t be as lethal as the current strains.” There’s some truth in this, that extremely deadly viruses will tend to burn themselves out by killing their hosts so not spread so widely. So perhaps bird flu transmitted from person to person would not sustain the extremely high death rates this type of flu has shown in people in the past. But as the 1918 flu and even the COVID pandemic show, there’s a lot of wiggle room for a virus between utterly deadly and utterly harmless, and even something that’s far from the worst can still go pandemic and cause huge amounts of death, disruption and misery.

That’s their problem

Unfortunately, with how pandemics work, it would be everyone’s problem.

This would be much worse than COVID. Bird flu is far more deadly.

Here’s a poster for the party Elon Musk is supporting in Germany. Do we still give him the benefit of the doubt? I don’t see much doubt to be had.

…crickets…

Sorry, too busy genociding.

That was the first one, and then another one a few seconds later. Nothing accidental here.

Jebus.

The 13th Amendment to the US constitution makes slavery illegal except for prisoners.
