The point being, this is a clear abuse and absurd level of Orweillian surveillance on what's supposed to be a free society. If the government attempted anything remotely close to this relative to the day a hundred years ago there would be a

I'm just curious how this is a startup? This seems like a neat way to aggregate some content, but a "startup" should equate to a business, presumably a potentially profitable one.
