Is it wrong to hope it hits the specific city I live in? 😅

It affects certain people from America. I have a relative who is directly affected by this.

Not if they are in the UK? Idk, that’s probably a weird edge case, but unless we’re all free, nobody is.

The UK is part of 5 Eyes. They swap info on citizens among members. No warrants, no constitutional protections. All they have to do is ask MI5 for info on Americans with dual citizenship.

No, but they’re part of 5 Eyes. The US government can ask MI5 to spy on US citizens, which gets around 4th amendment protections.

This will allow them to spy on any US citizens with dual citizenship.

I’d just as soon not use google apps, where possible.

Is it wrong to hope it hits us?

I did it a long time ago. The best time to change was 5-10 years ago. The second best time is now.

It’s time to de-Google, de-amazon, de-Microsoft, de-apple, etc.

I borrow them from my library through the Libby and Hoopla apps. If I want to support the author, I’ll buy a copy through some other means. Directly from them, if possible.
