You know, all these counter measures we come up with are just 'patches' to a set of bugs in our society. We need to rewrite the damn thing. This will just become a cat and mouse game against our own gov't and indirect defensive movements are meaningless without some sort of offensive to change policy. This is becoming a full blown arms race over people's private information. The funding, the computational power, the human capital used to create these things... if the gov't can't or won't listen to the people's will and the situation is bad enough, then something will rise to replace the broken system. Someone's got to spearhead a defense of the individual.

- mahyarm 13y agoPolitical & social realities are reactions to physical realities. Physical reality is changed by technology. This kind of dragnet communication surveillance was literally impossible in the 1960s. The social world is still changing in reaction to the existence of the birth control pill. Hell our social reality has already been fundamentally changed on many levels by facebook & smartphones world wide. It's a balance of both.
