    Sure, if all politicians make all their data available to the public. Their phone chat messages, photos taken, everything.

    No…? Then don’t bring it up ever again. Initiatives like these will only make it look like you’re a villain if you want privacy.

    How many times did they try to do this now?

    It kind of feels like a kids cartoon now, where the bad guys constantly fail every episode.

      Why this much hassle if they can simply confiscate every electronic item in your house?

        They want everyone’s private data to be accessible and actionable. It’s not even about avoiding the hassle. It’s about you not being able to avoid them.

        Now, think about how much they could use this to crush dissidence and prevent assemblies of protests or worse, jail people because they criticise the government.

        I got nothing to hide. By today’s standards. If it changes, and criticising my country’s government becomes a legal offense, then I would be a criminal. So would most people I know.

        This is about control. Surveillance is always about control. It’s disguised as a necessity through the paranoia that those in power help veiling over us.
