I know people like this and it's not a good mantra to follow. I have to remind them that all that needs to happen is to have political winds go the other direction and soon something they do regularly becomes illegal or suspicious. So dumb to give up privacy for safety.
- tombert 5y agoThat's always been my perspective. I'm going to take the radical position that not everyone in the government can be trusted, so we have to assume that there are bad actors who are going to abuse their power and use the questionably-obtained information to their advantage. I'm not a fan of that, and the only way I can think of to avoid this being an issue is for them not to have the information in the first place.
