The widespread outrage and concern over ICE acquiring spyware for potential use on Americans indicate a significant 'sentiment shift' regarding privacy and government surveillance. This creates a strong commercial and marketing opportunity for companies offering privacy-enhancing technologies (e.g., VPNs, secure messaging apps, encrypted storage), anti-tracking tools, and cybersecurity solutions. The comment about using open-source projects to identify government agents highlights a potential niche for community-driven or activist-focused privacy tools and educational resources.
