1. Citation needed. People in the US were arrested under this operation though they were foreign nationals.

2. History matters until it doesn't. There was a time when the US did not perform science experiments on unsuspecting populations, too. The government does not get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to "past performance is not indicative of future performance".

3. We have seen sitting presidents pardon people for crimes they have yet to commit.

4. "Not worse" is not a selling point.

You said:

> First, when it ran Anom, it went out of its way not to collect data on persons inside the United States. U.S. Anom users never had any of their data captured by the FBI because it raised profound 4th Amendment concerns. Cape is operating in the U.S. and is seeking U.S. users. Typical U.S. honeypots are generally targeted abroad.

1. People in the US were arrested for using Anom (despite the 14th amendment protecting both citizen and noncitizen alike, at least in the case where the non-US person is on US soil).

3. Fair point, though if it is truly a government sting operation I don't think you can take them to civil court either unless authorized under statute right?
