With respect, they ALWAYS end up in the wrong hands.
- EasyMark 1y agoThe people pitching for said surveillance are always the wrong hands if they're from the government. "We here from the government, we're here to help" are very scary words, and be careful if you take them up on the offer
- burnte 1y agoI don't really want private parties doing mass surveillance either.
- EasyMark 1y agome either, but their power is limit. Governments can ruin you forever and even disappear you without any real consequences
- conception 1y agoThis statement from Reagan is why we’re in this mess. There’s nothing wrong having the government come help you. The problem is regulatory capture, corruption, and a population that seems ok with it. A competent government with people who care can be a powerful force in people lives, eg social security, national parks, public schools.
