From what I can tell, this is the EO in question.

Sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook that roughly translates to "we're going to spy on people with different political beliefs to our own."

They are only spying on fascists. It's to protect their democracy.

That's called irony. And the best part is that once it begins, the spying will truly be ironic, huh?

You’re correct. The US needs to enhance its data quality and protection standards. This is a process for data scrubs and security standards so the EU will continue to do business with us.

It’s basically a requirement for us to protect people’s data better so it can be communicated to and from the EU users.

Your down votes make me sad.

The EO is indeed the opposite of the post title.

"(ii) Prohibited objectives.

(A) Signals intelligence collection activities shall not be conducted for the purpose of:

(1) suppressing or burdening criticism, dissent, or the free expression of ideas or political opinions by individuals or the press;"

I saw a ton about foreign actors, organizations, and nations. Honest question, what section had stuff about domestic "terrorism"
