we have identified that PRC-affiliated actors have compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies to enable the theft of customer call records data, the compromise of private communications of a limited number of individuals who are primarily involved in government or political activity, and the copying of certain information that was subject to U.S. law enforcement requests pursuant to court orders. We expect our understanding of these compromises to grow as the investigation continues.

Why isn't snowden in a Russian prison and being used as a bargaining chip in prisoner / spy swap deals.

I'll let you have all the time you need to figure it out.

(Yes, govs suck. Mass surveillance sucks. Putin and his fellators do, too.)

Because country has PR people that decide what actions makes them look good or bad to their people and the whole world, and being favorable to people that exposes atrocities of their enemies is better than trading them away, which is true for almost like any other country?

Why aren't Chinese uighur/dissidents from Xinjiang in US prison and being used in prisoner/spy swap deals? Cause… um… idk… they expose China's atrocities and make China look bad?

I'll let you have all the time you need to figure it out, but I don't think propaganda fed brains know the difference.

Yes Russia sucks dick, China too, and so do US ass kissers.

Ah, yes, average citizens with no knowledge of anything and escaping certain death are comparable to the guy who gave Putin everything he wanted.

Good show.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago

Is trump a whistleblower for releasing classified info to Russia about identities and position of it's spies, nuclear capability, etc.

Sounds normal. I assume America does the same to China, Russia, and all it's competitors too?
