- BiteCode_dev 7y agoI supposed not having a dictatorship regime in your country history book helps to see things that way. Given the way my country went from freedom to "regime de Vichy" in a few years, during my grandpa time, I don't want a state level entity having that kind of power. Since the US state level entities decided they could now ignore Habeas Corpus and legitimated torture, secret courts and declared impunity for them-self, I especially don't want them to have that kind of power.
- peteretep 7y agoIf a malicious power takes over your country they’ll hit you with a rubber hose until you give up your secrets much before they give a shit about your internet history, I suspect.
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoQuite the contrary, as shown by as most dictatorships across the world trying to control their piece of the internet. The biggest example being the Big Firewall of China. This let them control how people think, communicate, consume and inform them-self. But also detects anyone that could oppose the regime. Or make a graph of all allies, suspects, etc. Then you hit them with a rubber hose :)
- afiori 7y agoThat is the case if they are targeting you, what you should likely worry about is if they take interest in you.
