Not being the government doesn't give anyone a strong right to build mass surveillance databases to target individuals.

- sitkack 12y agoThere aren't any laws preventing the doxing of everyone, while the gov can't do it, they can buy those services on the open market. So mass surveillance gets outsourced to corps and we have instant fascism. So the flaw in the algebra is that the government can buy services for things it cannot legally do itself. Which means, doing or buying should be considered equivalent, to regular citizens it does. Corporations and governments have special rights where misdeeds are waved off with warnings or a change in position.
