They said such an app could be used for espionage and tracking down locations of federal employees and contractors.

But an operating system by an American corporation, and its office software, and authentication services, used by governments, business and citizens, is just fine.

I understand Twitter is used as a propaganda tool, but if we are also talking about espionage and tracking, then we should also pay attention to how many people and organizations are using companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google.

Honestly, I wouldn't have thought that something with that title could have been an Onion article. And to me that's what "Not The Onion" is all about.

It doesn't suffice that it's simply a real article, it must make people wonder if it's satire or not.

In your case, maybe if it was worded differently, but the way it is, it doesn't make me think it could be something I confused for an Onion headline.

He just changed his reason to "Make America rich again". Apparently he forgot about the drugs thing.

Are you not supposed to have guns and have a bunch of people in the same situation to supposedly defend your people in case of government tyranny, instead of just letting this happen and apologize?
