Not meaningless but certainly undercuts the grandstanding.

Yes, the authorities will have to pay for data like everyone else.

And that's job creation right there!

Thanks to Discord, I'm able to keep merchants that "connect overbearing authoritarian entities with the data they shouldn't have, at a price point we all can agree on" at stable, sub-full time employment status.

Truly, pillar of the economy, er community.
