Anyone know if it's possible to take a program and "decompile" it? Like reverse engineering or something so it could be verified to be "clean?"

I imagine with all the resources the government has they could achieve such a thing if they were really concerned about national security and not really just worried about metas profits.

I mean what would Elon buying it have really changed about the actual code of the apps? It would just change who gets the profits, no?

Unanimous?! Makes you wonder what they know that we might not.

Nothing. The arguments were public. They obliterated the first amendment rights of 170 million Americans because the government said National Security. If the government can use magic words to make your rights disappear, then you don't have those rights.
