  If it's so important as to warrant weeks of surveillance, they can spend the fifteen minutes to get a fricking warrant.

  There is no hyperbole about it, they are in fact and by definition, gangs. These are the people you surrender your autonomy to when you support gun control.

  There exists software to identify CGI/deepfakes. A browser extension could be made to automatically check and tag media that one views.
