What if journalists learned the names of innocent people in the Epstein files? Do the ends justify the means??? Oh no!
The answer to your question is "then the article wouldn't exist".
Your "concern" reads like concern trolling because the only way to satiate it is to shut down the free press, apparently to defend the space billionaire/pedophile billionaire class.
They sent a tracker in a book before the article was written. Before they knew it was Amazon. It only turned out to be Amazon, but when they sent it, it could have been anyone.
I feel like I have to ask: are you associated with the source? Your inability to understand my very simple and straightforward point is suspicious.
Uh yeah. That's why they knew it was Amazon. If it ended up somewhere else, the article would be different, and shills for space billionaires would have to come up with something else to concern troll about.
No, but since this is your level of politeness and since you've ignored basic statements like "corporations are not people" and claims the Epstein class needs to be exposed, I need to ask: are they paying you to shill for them, or do you do it for free?
Yes!! Finally!!
What if it ended up at a mom and pop store? Are they deserving of privacy?
Then the article would probably be very different or not written at all, which is what I said already.
You're not responding to the Epstein class question I see. Really makes you think
Is this for real?
They sent a secret tracker before the article was written. The problem isn't the article, it's putting a secret tracker in the order. Would you like secret trackers in your orders, or would you consider that an invasion of privacy?
Seriously, I don't know any other way to say it.
I look forward to seeing evidence of that.
