More like FBI or DEA. If the NSA wants it they just hack them.

People said the same thing recently when Tesla was required to do an OTA update in the US. The thing is that while they don’t have to physically work on each vehicle, it’s labeled a recall because it’s a regulatory action that compelled them to do it. Tesla didn’t decide to do these updates on their own - they were directed to do so by the government, first in the US and now in China.
This is fairly easy to disprove as I can think of in say, video games, a company releasing 5-6 remakes of games they made 30 years ago. So... 30 years ago, the games they released that year were the originals. This year, it's 6 remakes. Someone on reddit analyzed this, though it's kind of vague as there are no units for the vertical axis. I suppose it does show proportions by year.
Lillipad Cafe in Sydney, AU. I was going to order a kangaroo burger with deep-fried saltbush, but turns out they're closed :(
I was reading an Apple Maps “best restaurants” guide and it had a button to get Uber Eats from a restaurant listed as 7,900 miles away.
Sometimes they even just repost something they found on the internet
That seems to be the topic here... some people do feel uncomfortable about works having a connection to a terrible person, others don't. Personally I do think about the creator of artistic works when consuming them or as a fan, and I don't really want to be thinking "huh, I wonder what Hitler and Dahmer were thinking when they made that decision". On the other hand, some people love thinking about awful people like serial killers.
The Rick & Morty guy kind of ruined his show, too.
Sure, but overlooking moral misgivings is the similarity. Just like I wouldn't tell someone 'hey, I love this sale at Hobby Lobby!' I wouldn't feel right about endorsing a star or director or artist or musician who was found to be a terrible person. The same applies to enjoying it in private - my knowledge about the creator would somewhat ruin my enjoyment of their work.
That's the point though, that some people will use the 'but chicken sandwich is good' as a justification to overlook the other problems and still buy them. My ex and Hobby Lobby, for instance - she'd want to go there and shop for paints because they 'might have a sale', and I was just uh, no? Fuck Hobby Lobby.
Many agencies do that but it’s been established that the NSA simply takes data from companies of almost any size, domestic or foreign.
