This has to end. As soon as possible. And be replaced by what?

  Few things can replace suspicionless mass surveillance of everybody on the face of the planet, and personally I'd rather we live in a world where that doesn't get replaced with anything -- it's put to an end in the same spirit that slavery is. Yes I'm aware everybody doesn't use the internet, and yes I'm aware slavery is still quite prevalent, however my point stands -- slavery is an affront to self-determination and so is suspicionless surveillance.

    Well said. However the grandparent comment speaks as though this is unique to the US, rather than something that most governments are doing or would like to do. How do we get to a state where an actual value is ever given serious political weight? Ending slavery took a major war.

      It needed a war in the US, man, not elsewhere...

        That seems like just a distraction from actually answering the question into anti-us sentiment.
