They will block all instances except the ones registered. They just want a point of contact for when there is illegal activity. Yes it becomes a problem if they make criticizing the government legal but it is a democracy for now.
Historically, NSO has avoided selling to US-based clients and was banned by the US Commerce Department under President Joe Biden's administration for allegedly supplying spyware to authoritarian governments. However, shifting political dynamics under the Trump administration raised the possibility that spyware could become more prevalent in the United States, exacerbating mobile exploitation
That's in the USAmerican experience. I recall in Yugoslavia that the Left pulled the same hypocritical stunt and the conservatives in USA felt like it was already happening to them (since it was exaggerated into panic by social media's polarizing algorithms).
Ha, what a coincidence. Kudos to you and "thank you for your service". I am backseat driving here from Australia.
That example shows four spaces above the blue. Enough room for red, orange, yellow, green. Perfect. But most times I see only three spaces above it so which colour did you drop on those ones?

Damn. I haven't caught one of those new Intercity trains yet. These trains were the cause of many strikes before they even started operating. They should have been striking about the flip flop!
And why is there trackwork one or two weekends per month? Are the contractors maybe corruptly milking the government? And yet breakdowns seem to be more frequent than ever.
Australian pedestrian crossing lights cater for the blind and the deaf-and-blind. Billie Eilish's brother/producer sampled the sound, when he visited, for her smash hit.
There was no hard evidence. He cleverly made sure of that.
