It now directly affects the troops and military, who they ostensibly do care about. Maybe the citizens can have a little privacy reform, as a trickle-down treat.

Trump has demonstrated repeatedly, emphatically, and publicly that he does not care about the troops, or at least certainly not injured/captured/killed ones. Or minorities. Or non-citizens fighting for the country. Or citizens with non-citizen spouses/fiancees/parents.

maybe trickle-down privacy will be more successful than trickle-down economics. one can hope.

The US will still surveil the troops and citizens. All this does is reduce the commercial attack surface for adversaries, privacy be damned.

If they cared about the troops, they wouldn't send them on bullshit missions like whatever we're doing in Iran.
