It's the politicians who must be stripped of privacy. They're servants of all of us. They must be controlled the most, because our societies depend on them the most.
It's them who are the most vulnerable to corruption. It's them who are most likely to abuse their power, including child abuse.
It's them who are most likely to think that they're some privileged caste, so they can do "whatever they want" (c) Trump.
- LeonB 5y agoOne obvious thing: Major US political parties should insist that prospective presidential candidates disclose their tax returns.
- hereme888 5y agoI don't think tax returns are the most important thing to be transparent about. Things like Hillary's mechanical destruction of digital data and other such abuses are a much bigger issue.
- pessimizer 5y ago> It's the politicians who must be stripped of privacy. Don't worry, they have been and will be. Monitoring dragnets filled with normal people are attractive because squeezing a dime out of a few million people is profitable. But the real monitoring will be of wealthy, powerful people, for the purpose of manipulation and blackmail.
