Since I didn't explicitly say it, I'm not okay with giving out browsing history and 100% stand behind privacy controls and laws that prevent this completely.

thank you. unfortunately your comment was frustratingly indistinguishable from the "i've got nothing to hide" fallacy often seen in comment threads like this. when there's no way to tell you're being humorous, your language does the work of someone being serious.

as the tumblr kids say, satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize.

Most people are not at risk for being unjustly harmed by law enforcement due to their online data. The people that are at risk are outliers, and still worthy of concern.

This isn’t true. The risk is currently low of actually being targeted but that doesn’t mean people are not at risk.

Also law enforcement is not the only problem by a long shot. Civil suits, family court, etc, all routinely use browsing history data.
