Let me get this straight. Anon claims the government doesn't give a fuck about me. So they come in and punch me in the face, and then say, "see, the government didn't care about you". This is like walking up to a person who's getting raped, and kicking them in the head while they're down.
How does further abusing the citizens somehow make the original point that the government is abusing the citizens?
Here's a pro-tip, Anon. If you are really interested in "fighting abuse" by the government, then don't further aggravate the situation. Do something that resembles fighting back, or somehow protects the people getting abused.

- aphyr 15y agoPrivacy is a matter of visibility, not compromisability. Ultimately, almost anything you do can be observed, shared, and exploited. The reason we lead any semblance of a private life is a combination of a lack of interest, goodwill, and a low reward/cost ratio. Publishing this data like this puts it on google and in the media. That makes it a.) highly visible and b.) extremely cheap. Therefore, less private.
