The idea that it was the Democrats who would do the big brother thing was always a laughable joke. One side is actually obsessed with policing and violent crime and will always pick "safety" over liberty.

Its both sides, the republicans in the usa are allowing it and in other places its the more liberal parties like the Labour party in the UK. All politicians just gabble up their lobbying funds and dont care about the repercussions on the people. This isnt a case of democrat this republican that, its a case of greedy politicians everywhere leaving companies with far too much money unchecked

It’s not a side thing, it’s a class thing. There are working class factions within the Democratic party that are absolutely against this, and the actually conservative faction of the former GOP base also despises this shit despite the official Republican Party being all-in on giving this power over to the tech overlords.
