Well, not that I think this guy's gesture (brave though it might be) will amount to anything - China is the guinea pig. If mass surveillance and mass censorship work there, you can bet it'll come here, too. They can perfect it from a distance, at very little risk if things go wrong, and spring the trap on us when it's ready.
- bdamm 8y agoThere are plenty of examples of governments with mass surveillance (UK, China, Singapore, many others). Mass censorship has been active in China for quite a long time. If you believe that the only way to prevent mass surveillance "here" (where do you live?) is to eradicate it everywhere, then I'm afraid that you've already lost. Hopefully your government is still functioning with regards to regulations and oversight of surveillance and freedom of the press.
