So, I nearly said something mildly snarky about the US having at least not stooped this low. But, then I remembered that Glenn Greenwald's partner's laptop was stolen from their home immediately after Greenwald mentioned on the phone he would be sending copies of encrypted communications from Snowden. The obvious candidate for that theft would be the US government. And, that would probably be even more despicable than doing it out in the open like this. Nonetheless, I find it hard to believe people exist who want to live in a world like this, where privacy and free speech mean nothing. And, yet, when given the chance to build a world like this, so many weaselly little tyrants in bureaucratic roles take every opportunity to push people around, making the world sadder and more bleak for everyone.
