You say this as if to illicite some sort of shock or disapproval from the reader but for me its the opposite.
Why shouldnt the permanent storage of all communications between companies the size of Google be mandated by law?
From my perspective this seems to be a net benefit for society.

- Teever 2y agoYeah that's kind of the idea. If it's harder to communicate about doing illegal things, it's harder to do illegal things. That's a feature, not a bug.
- nextaccountic 2y agoThis isn't about just inhibiting illegal things, constant surveillance has a chilling effect on many subjects
- Teever 2y agoYes, and the greater good would be served by having a chilling effect on people in these positions, even if it means with the unintended consequences.
