The problem with law enforcement today is that they want their work cut out for them. Instead of doing the old school investigation stuff and THEN getting a subpoena, they instead want to have blanket access to all of our communications.
Instead of proving real espionage, they want to merely assert "suspect" links and then you're the one who have to prove you're innocent.
Instead of finding drug dealers and terrorists the old fashioned way, they want all of your bank transactions reported automatically for them, so they can sit on their chairs and deep learn their way into your data towards some flimsy accusation that they will use to pressure you into pledging your guilty to something.
Really, it is about time we raise our voices agains that. It is about time we say enough is enough. It is about time for us to say, the State serve its Citizens, and not the other way around.
Fuck this bureaucratic neo-feudalism.
Let us say no for this shit!

BASTILLE DAY
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart
There’s no bread let them eat cake \
There’s no end to what they’ll take \
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth \
Wash the salt into the earth \
But they’re marching to Bastille Day \
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize \
Free the dungeons of the innocent \
The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise \
Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace \
Naked fear on every face \
See them bow their heads to die \
As we would bow as they rode by \
And we’re marching to Bastille Day \
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize \
Sing, o choirs of cacophony \
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise. \
Lessons taught, but never learned \
All around us anger burns \
Guide the future by the past \
Long ago the mould was cast \
For they marched up to Bastille Day \
La guillotine – claimed her bloody prize \
Hear the echoes of the centuries \
Power isn’t all that money buys \
