Executive Order on Prohibition on Use by the US Government of Commercial Spyware

> …that Poses Risks to National Security

very important detail missing from the truncated title.

Are you implying that's a very narrow scope? Keep in mind:

- obesity is considered a threat to national security

- when in doubt and scope (read: overreach) don't the courts typically favor national security

If there's a keyword, it's commercial.

If it is never used on US soil is it a risk to US national security?

who’s asking?

that’s a bingo

Commercial spyware? What about homebrew spyware?
