I know plenty of developers who decried the surveillance state before covid, but who now gush about information-rich vaccine QR code passports and what not. "Such cool information!" I heard one say. I think most developers who didn't care for the surveillance state in 2019 just don't mind it now. Me? I accept that everything we do online leaves a huge metadata trail. Same as in meatspace. So much metadata as to be sufficient for all legitimate state interests and then some. But only the metadata should be available w/o warrants -- same as in meatspace.
