Hi Bob,
The professional side of me says "congrats!".
The privacy advocate in me feels millions of voices crying out and then suddenly silenced. This won't just be used to track foreign bad actors, even the website says so. Just another mechanism for vacuuming up what little private existence we still cling to.
Finally, the amateur side of me says "what does this have to do with amateur radio in space"?
