The joke was dumb, the online reaction to the joke was dumb, a random UAP senator's dumb comments being quoted globally was dumb and Rudd telling famous musicians and actors to "grow up and get a job" was very dumb. What a time we live in.

It is likely the primary driver of all the stalkerware data mining nonsense. Targeting independent thought to drown out any kind of reasonable discussion is a viable strategy. Academics, early adopters, and eccentrics are some of the most dangerous to a corrupt establishment. It only takes one or a few of the most brilliant devs to change the world. One of the primary strategies is content fatigue by the time of the election too.
