Quote: I may be overly cynical but it seems to me that China is the most honest country involved in governmental mass surveillance. They never tried to hide the intent behind their decisions whereas western nations always bring up false pretenses to eat away at their people's rights and freedoms. The most pathetic of all being "terrorism". We're all headed in the same direction, it's just going to be achieved through different means.

- GauntletWizard 8y agodang, I want to respectfully disagree with you and ask that you reconsider your stance on this thread and others like it. If discussing holding up a mirror to our own actions isn't a good place to hold up a mirror to other's own actions, where do you draw the line, then? Assuming good faith only works so long as you have a community acting in good faith. If you don't hold people to that standard, assuming good faith will only lead you astray.
