Is this a bot comment? Account is two hours old.

You want to not suffer through political memes? And jump to scanning private messages for dissent, by authoritarian governments being okay!?

No, I'm being serious. technology like this could be very beneficial.

there's a good chance that if we continue to improve surveillance law enforcement agencies and justice departments could begin to focus on rehabilitation and growing a kinder world.

right they are like firemen trying to put out fires after the building has been ruined

if it doesn't work we're doomed anyway, so what's the problem?

that's kind of a stretch, but I hope not.

the way the laws go good or bad is going to be up to everyone
