It should disappear due to active push back because freedom, democracy and human rights cannot coexist with such surveillance.
Privacy is where independent thinking is happening and generated and if it's not guarded properly the whole idea of democracy is not possible. More on that here : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28084578 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28084578

Apple has just created a product that slowed the government down and they wouldn't stand for it and so they compromised. But America talks a good talk about pushing back against surveillance but if it doesn't affect people day to day, no one will care. Hell, almost a million Americans are dead and about half care more about being able to go to a bar than the easily preventable deaths.
- papito 5y agoFor some reason, people living from paycheck to paycheck are expected to be "good citizens", but if you make billions (and pay much less in tax, percentage-wise), your obligation to not be a shitbag is, well, waived. Everyone here is hating on Apple, but looking at what Peter Thiel is involved in - oh, that's FINE. He is rich, he is better than you, obviously. Don't believe me? Watch the Peter Thiel shrine that is HN downvote this. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5db4ad/google-bans-safegraph-former-saudi-intelligence https://www.vice.com/en/article/5db4ad/google-bans-safegraph...
