@stephenjudkins depends how he does it, though! plutocrats normalized stealing all of our laptops in ways that would have seemed inconceivable in the 1990s. Musk stole all of our private DMs!

@stephenjudkins one might argue that domestic malefactors are less accountable, because they slip through certain kinds of defenses that foreign actors are more likely to encounter. it's not clear TikTok behaves any worse than Twitter, but boy is it more scrutinized, and more likely to be held to account!
