Now there's proof.
So. Fucking. What.
Call me cynical, I don't care. I've grown out of my desire to completely change the world. Right now I want a nice safe place for my family to be allowed to go about its business. I have that now, like I had it yesterday, and based on all available data I'll have that tomorrow. Yes, even with someone possibly monitoring that I called Indonesia 10 times over the past 15 years.
Most western democracies have had this shit in place for years. Canada has CSEC (http://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/index-eng.html http://www.cse-cst.gc.ca/index-eng.html). ECHELON has been around since the cold war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON). France has internet monitoring. So does Australia.
In case you haven't noticed, none of the nonsense around constitutions, human rights, legal decrees and such really matters. They're just guidelines, and how we interpret the words can and does change every damn day. The same law that upheld segregation is the same law that maintains that it is unconstitutional. It's all just interpretation.
Get enough people to agree with your interpretation, and you can justify anything. Good luck fighting against that.

- flyinRyan 13y agoThe majority of what you said here is right, but the key is in your last sentence. How better to get enough people to agree with our interpretation (that we want privacy and accountability) than to get everyone pissed off about what's going on (and has been for years, so what).
