Tbh, this may end up our only saving grace when it comes to setting up a panopticon: incompetence and basic human nature.

Need a few more major leaks of private information of politicians and regulators.

And of course we have the nightmare scenario in Afghanistan with a US database falling into the hands of the Taliban. Hoping that only "the right people" have access is the worst form of assurance against abuse.

Hard to overstate this one. So more leaks is not, by itself, enough to make changes happen.
