    Build a large enough catalogue of bulk data and anything can be used to track you.

    We bought “It’s just so we can catch the terrorists!” hook, line, and sinker post-9/11.

    But when “terrorism” is redefined as “making people in power upset,” we’re in big trouble.

    So don’t say anything rude about Donald Trump or the FBI will seek you out:

      I never bought it, I was raising immortal hell then. But as a collective, yes we did, and as a collective, we’re sitting around moaning instead of doing something, anything, effective.

        True, but your implication that I’m not doing enough while I’m sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.

            Apologies - didn’t realize I was talking to someone who has bouts of nihilism mixed in with their political activism like rocks in a salad.

            Enjoy the block!
