"It's for the children"
Big red flag.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoYeah. Politicians using children as arguments for total global surveillance is the epitome of bad faith. Leveraging children as political weapons should be considered a form of child abuse.
- thesnide 3y agoMass surveillance to combat terrorism is also making me think if the remedy is not as worse as the evil. I mean, terrorist are now laughing that they nicely annoyed 99.99% of the population that want to travel by air. We saw the rise of low cost terror, with a knife in a crowded space. I predict the "free2play" terror with simply wrongly alerting authorities to evacuate mass touristic areas. We live in a sad era were everyone is just either too afraid or too envious of his neightbors
- matheusmoreira 3y agoFinding the words "child", "terror", "drug" and "money launder" in any argument is evidence of bad faith. It's almost certain they're trying to manipulate people into giving up freedom for false security by appealing to the eternal bogeymen of society. Playing on people's fear to expand their own power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalypse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalyp... Just summarily dismiss any argument containing those words. Don't even engage, just expose this charade for everyone to see.
