They cheer and provide support. ACAB = All Cops Are Bastards

I already switched from Chrome to FF, I guess my phone needs a better OS next.

In addition to everyone else here’s much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.

Historically that’s been the opposite - if they accept bribes, then they can afford to hold office.
