"Abused" is such an interesting term. But if an enemy does it, perfectly fine when we do it (ICE and related)

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

I agree, I am starting to wake up to the language used by a lot of governments and reassessing my opinions on prior events.
So many words are becoming a tool to condemn when they are infact quite warranted. Radical, dissent etc.
Conjurers used sleight of hand. Politicians use slight of mouth.
how dare they try to win the war!
The yankees shouldn't have attacked them in the first place.
Using available tools for defending against an unwarranted attack is not "abuse"
Sounds more like conventional military intelligence. In a war, no less.
I can just imagine the headlines from last century: "Enigma machine abuses messages between U-boats"
So like, instead of this fuck up being the fault of the us army(/navy/whatever) it's Irans fault?
I hate the Iranian regime as much as anyone (seriously fuck them) but common.
The word is take advantage and yes in war it is ok to do it
The mobile network system has been insecure for she's to help three letter agencies worldwide. Of course they could use it against each other too.
The US military/terrorists had no business in the Middle East.
and hesgeth downplayed the damage done to the bases, so that Fox cant spin it in a way how undamaged they were.
I wish we didn't live in a world where poor kids looking to pay for college didn't have to pay for the mistakes of fatcat pedophiles, but that's the world we live in. May they rest in peace and may their families find peace.
They didn't "have" to do anything; they signed up by choice and could've refused to take part in this. May they rest in piss.
They were killing innocent civilians and kids well before you elected pedophiles.
Every US military member that dies is one less person that will, for example, blow up 300 school children. And it's a very good thing when there are less of those people in the world.
