You don't need to stoop to insults.
Then the responsible journalists wouldn't publish the story. I don't know why you have so much disdain for this independent group.
I'd hate to hear your takes when Ed Snowden "illegally" leaked files to journalists.
I'm thinking about how your concern (which is borderline concern trolling) leaves no way to hold billionaires and their unethical companies accountable.
Like you said:
Just imagine if we applied this to the AI weirdos.
My concern isn't the story, it's the "hiding a tracking device in an order with an anonymous party". That's an invasion of privacy no matter who it's done to. You're presumably only okay with it because you dislike who it was done to, which is why I'm asking you to consider it without hindsight. What if it were done to someone other than Amazon? Do you still support that invasion of privacy? Why or why not?
