But the thing that I just thought about is, what happens when some other country wants data on a Google user? Like the Sudanese government. They might be like, hey, this guy here, he's committed some crimes, right? Can you tell us everything you know about him, Google? does Google have to comply with local law enforcement?

And be like, well, this request came from your military, so yeah, okay, approved, here you go. I guess I want to know, how does Google handle data requests from tyrannical or autocratic regimes?

But I think it comes down to why. Because if you're trying to say, like, we think he's a terrorist and we want to know what he's doing at 2 a.m., that's almost legitimate to open up my phone and see what I'm up to.

Well, the U.S. is taking decisive action against Intelexa now. Reuters published a story a few weeks ago saying the U.S. Commerce Department has blacklisted both Intelexa and Citrax. They've been sanctioned. I think this essentially means it's prohibited in the U.S. to do business with these companies, and I don't really know how this impacts them. Perhaps U.S.

banks can't do business with them now, or maybe it's harder for them to fly on U.S. airlines? I'm not exactly sure. But also if they have investors, this doesn't look good for business. You know, it could shake investors who want to expand to the U.S. someday. But yeah, that's not happening now. Intellectual is part of a dizzying web of companies that are operating in different countries.

The parent company is called Thelestris, which is in Ireland for some reason, and their holding company has declared that they've made $35 million in sales from just doing business in the Middle East. But other sources have said that they've made close to $200 million in sales in the last three years. So it seems like life and business is great for Taldillion and Indalexa.

This will definitely be a company that I'll be keeping an eye on in the future. But with the noise that they seem to be making, sounds like everyone is going to be watching them too. A big thank you to Croft and Black from Lighthouse Reports for coming on the show and sharing the story with us. Also, thanks to Bill Marzak and John Scott Railton from Citizen Lab for telling us what they know.
