You obviously do not have a realistic appreciation for the scale or centralization of the post office or AT&T, nor any understanding of American 4th Amendment jurisprudence. If the only thing you bring to the discussion is an equivalation of Google and Apple with the Stasi, that's nothing more than fulfilling a variant of Godwin's Law.
- feedforward 3y agoHe said Stasi was limited so it is not equivalation. The US government and its infrastructure oligopolies monitor citizens far more than the Stasi ever did. We are pleading to a reduction down to a Stasi-like intelligence service. Tangentially, J. Edgar Hoover was politically opposed to feminism, and COINTELPRO had a massive secret police action against feminists and feminist groups in the 1970s. Some of us want these issues hashed out at the ballot box, not by some giant secret political police force.
