I could see where you're coming from, but the two objective arguments I see that argue for the toning down of government surveillance, or at least major changes to our surveillance system would be:
1. The current policies and attitude are [seemingly] going to have negative economic impacts of enormous proportions.
2. Surveillance will always be a cat and mouse game as technology improves, and surveillance will become increasingly difficult, perhaps impossible.
- mikeash 12y agoI agree, and I think the surveillance should be drastically reformed. I just think that the only way to accomplish this is to convince a large chunk of the population to change their minds on the issue, not to try to start at the top of government.
- thrush 12y agoI guess eventually those people will be at the top of government, which is really cool to think about.
