elon is making a big stink(for whatever reason) about privacy and surveillance, going quite against the federal agencies that do it at least publically.

jack dorsey pledging a million per year to signal in the wake of these revelations is the entire reason the piece this is responding to exists.

trump outrage bait(and real things) was probably the single most guaranteed way to get traffic for these outlets

idk like I said there is no conceivable way I can think of why would the outlet publish such a piece otherwise
