Do we know how much tougher the warrant requirement is in other countries? Australia is expanding anti-protest laws [1,2], the UK police is helping blacklist union organizers [3], and sharing information on disabled people and activist with private companies [4,5]. And as China's influence on Australia and New Zealand expands, there's a very real risk surveillance abuse will get even worse. And of course if you dare turn surveillance around on those with power, you can expect consequences [6]. There are precious few countries where surveillance is only used to catch murderers and kidnappers. And even in those, you're helping set up suppression infrastructure that a malicious government can use if they ever gain power in the future.
