Basically, what you're saying is that you think that if someone on US soil does something illegal, and hides the evidence offshore, the government shouldn't be able to get to said evidence without jumping through a crapton of legal hoops?
That's (legally) how the world has worked for hundreds of years.
Why is this a surprise to you?
Change government entities and see how good it sounds for ANY other government to come into your country without legal basis there and take what they deem needed in their courts.
Pick a country, any country other than the US. Let them have it for the next 25 years.
Now imagine you're neither country. Dependent on a bully country and some other random country for your internet control. Which would you take? Or the UN?
Yeah, lets compare a 40 year old monopoly company (making money w large contracts) to a bunch of small upstart developers (making money $0.99 at a time) and laugh.
Only reasonable thing I can think of is autofocus for video calls. But most phones already do a good job of that. Perhaps Amazon choose a poor camera and had to implement this in software.

You might want to cite some reference for you position.
Make sure to include references where they're also operating in separate countries.

You might want to go look up what is a crime in those countries. You better be ok with ALL their laws.
That's actually pretty easy to do.
Sure, but where can I get 1 billion hepa filters today?
Oftentimes, life gets in the way.
Let me guess where you're from.
A place where imagination is non-existent.
I'll tell you what.

More people are laughing at you.
Adobe's net income was only $290 million last year.
Are you sure you want to compare those two apples?
Well, what's the total market then? Probably not a whole lot more than $13B. So what's the financial difference then?
Well, having the US government retain less control of the entire internet isn't a bad thing. Unless you're a fucking moron.
If this works out, Israel might have a much bigger counter-suit on their hands.

Yeah, hate that $13 billion *developers* have made so far.
Foolish.

And lose the superpower of seeing into the ultraviolet?
Hell no!
To be fair, sometimes I rage-argue at work. Helps relieve the stress of real life.
No idea how you're modded a troll, but fuck anybody who did.
This is actually worse.
Probably forced Mcafee scans.
Will any judge be allowed to?
Or will it only go through the FISA courts, where there's even less transparency. And always ruled against.
To each their own, delusion has its grandeur.
Pretty sure they give billions to trillions of dollars to make sure some government agencies work well.
Maybe if that squee is out of fear.
As soon as people stop wanting power & control?

Ok, I got nothing.
