How does Apple or Google know if the apps were downloaded by citizens or not? They don’t, so everyone who has downloaded the app is now a suspected terrorist?rotor wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 2:10 pm Let's look at this in a different light. The scopes involved are night vision and thermal and probably their (ATN) binoculars. These I believe all have export restrictions which I assume are meant to keep them out of ISIS and other terror organizations. Most people who have a scope are going to have the Obsidian app as well although the scopes can be used without the app. If Justice can find a bunch of overseas terrorists with the app (and presumably the scopes) a bunch of lives may be saved. I previously owned one of their scopes and I give permission (if needed) to have my name given out. All they really want or need is the overseas data. Could this be more nefarious than that, sure but I don't think they are after US citizen data with this fishing expedition.
Actually I think someone with some brains thought of a way to possibly find terrorists.
Finally don't flame me because I think it may be good law enforcement and not an invasion of my rights.
We’re giving up so much liberty for a little safety. Someone warned us about that a long time ago.....
