Lol, brother, you started this comment chain. You're trying to assert a position, but insisting others do the homework on providing data for said position. If said data is so strong as you believe it to be, just post the fucking numbers and shut everyone up.

Also, not everyone has the same values system. Your post implies that you value minimizing criminality over civil liberties, which, fine, everyone has their own value system. But, other people clearly use different weights in their values, and view this as an unacceptable trade off.

> Please have everyone cite their sources and I will cite mine.

I did not ask "everyone." I asked you to do so.

> That Google and Meta employees are not law enforcement completely misses the point I'm making but I never expect people on liberal social media sites to see that

You wrote, and I quote:

  If you think some Google employees doesn't have MORE access 
  than a cop, you are WILDLY mistaken.

That you chose to invoke the trope "people on liberal social media sites" speaks not to a sound position so much as an intrinsic bias evident to all.

I wish you well in your path in life.
