I assume everyone understands a large portion of mass survellience boomed under Bush after 9/11 starting with FISA [0] and continuing under Bush......and will continue to grow under every future president considering there is very little push against it except a minority of people who value their privacy (my opinion), blaming either side is a bit silly.
I am a millenial and I consistently observe many of my peers who do not work in IT having the attitude "I have nothing to hide they can collect whatever they want on me" an attitude spawning from Zuckerberg pointing out people will not care about their privacy in the future[1]...turns out he is mostly right

- dmfdmf 10y agoI absolutely agree, its not a "my side versus your side" issue, i.e. Left -vs- Right, it should be universal but somehow people (not just millenials) don't realized how potent the power of surveillance is in the wrong hands. It will attract sociopaths.
