MODERATORS
I dig the latter part of the statement, but that first half bugs me. Shouldn't they have a warrant in order to monitor someone to an extent where this needs to be stated?

Third parties like ISPs, platforms, and other companies part of the surveillance economy have too many rights to collect and distribute PII and to few legal and technical protections for people's privacy.
