Sickening stuff. It's even worse when you realize you're afraid of ending up on a watch list for speaking out about this kind of abuse.

  Which is why am ashamed to say I don't say anything controversial online anymore. Hell, even posting this makes me nervous. Though I guess that's one of the goals of government surveillance – obedience.

    Once I wrote a popular post concerning the government limiting freedom. Within a day or two I got called with a survey about my internet usage from the "Finance department" who talked really fast when I questioned on what authority. I answered him questions anyway about all the internet websites I frequent and communities I'm part of. He even asked me what IRC channels I used. I gave every detail. That was a few years ago.
