I personally do, he actually risked his life to release information about the government spying on people. And there are for sure more advanced ways now. Even your phone is listening.

        No, he’s not a criminal for what he did, but for admiring privacy

              you’d hope, but being facetious to the point of being ratio’d is indistinguishable from being a clownshoe.

                  Every picture you’ve ever taken (we want your family and friends, we want where you frequent, we want where your pressure points are, we want pictures your friends took of you as well, especially in compromising positions we can threaten you with exposing, every nude you have taken of your significant other especially if you have a sexuality we don’t like and others of our party don’t approve of),

                  Every political position you’ve ever had(want to make sure you are on the right side, but this information goes to all of us, so chances are you won’t be, or won’t be for long, even if you are cool with me, my friend wants my position so anything he can find out about you will help that process )

                  Every text you ever sent(we want to make sure we know people who have done anything wrong, since we have their information as well, we also want to persistently advertise to them, like phone ringing at all hours of the day all day, you won’t be able to answer a job interview or a friend not in your contacts without hearing us.)

                  Every book you have ever read (I want to make sure you aren’t even thinking of things I don’t want you to, don’t dare check out that book that talks about things I don’t like, I know where you live and I know everyone else who thinks this way and where they live and who they love and I can put the pressure on)

                  Every paycheck you ever receive and every job you ever have(I want to make sure I don’t ever over pay you and that you have never left a job that I thought you should have stayed at longer for the amount of pay I thought you were worth.)

                  Every location you will ever be and have been(so if I don’t like you, I can have my friends harass you, maybe have my police ticket you, follow you around till you break one of my many many traffic rules, maybe just let someone I know doesn’t like you know where you live, an ex partner?)

                  Every medical record (So we know if you have pre-existing conditions, so we can charge you as much as possible for the medications because we know you need them, so we can charge you extra money or taxes or write you off entirely after you have been paying into our medical system for years.)

                  We would really like to bring back the company store at the least, the absolute serfdom of less desirables at most, especially if something goes wrong and we could be at risk of losing our power

                    I don’t keep track of all of that. If you want that data, provide me with something that automatically takes those informations.
