I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Alright, so you are for more spying on actual innocent Americans. Great...
So you were fishing for confirmation rather than looking for opinions? Don't ask a polarizing question if you can't stomach the answers you don't agree with.
What, I can't respond? And no, I am just pointing out how ridiculous that comment actually is, lol.
It wasn't my comment. And if it was, my point still stands. Don't ask questions if you don't want to hear opposing answers.
I meant "that" comment. What? am I not allowed to respond to it on my post? Get over yourself.
You didn't just respond. You immediately went feral. Like I said, you weren't looking for responses, you were looking for confirmation of your views. When you didn't get it, you lashed out like a child.
You can respond however you want, but actions have reactions, and this is that.
No one went feral. You’re overreacting.
How is this feral? : "Alright, so you are for more spying on actual innocent Americans. Great…"
You don't know how I think, look at you assuming. I posted on here, of course I expected other views. And you acting all high and mighty like you know everything is disgusting.
What if they were?
Then it doesn't belong in no stupid question.
