that powers genocide
Great that he's standing up for himself!
or surveillance
...ok now why did you even send your resume to Google
Wonder when he had his "are we the baddies" moment.
The context was Gaza though, so I mean neutrally surveillance can mean lots of things: security cameras at a convenience store, a security contract for the government or another corporation. What this person was protesting was supporting Isreal and it's war/control over Gaza. The article sort of misses the point and the headlines really kills it.
Funny, but it's more complicated than reductive
What is "it" in your sentence?
I assume that user referred to "surveillance" in a broad sense as being more complicated than simply general population data collection. For example, you can be against some data collection, all data collection, no data collection, or other specific circumstances of data collection based on its content or use case.
