I'm becoming very worried about what an increasingly likely Clinton presidency means for privacy.
The FBI carried a ton of water for Clinton with the email investigation. We already know what the FBI's top legislative priority is. And now she owes thim a big one.
Then you have all the Wikileaks hacking. I think it's probable that Clinton will see this as further demonstration of the "lawlessness" of the Internet and the need to assert federal authority over the net.
Finally you have the fact that Clinton was already a Dianne Feinstein on this issue. There was a leak where a staffer contemplated getting Clinton to say something good about Snowden or whistle-blowers while she was fighting off Bernie but admitted that it was against her nature to take that position.
I really think that Clinton is going to be a cornucopia of goodies for the police state and the panopticon.
