The thing about the UK is that the state doesn't use the technology to harass people "they" dislike. And the thing about the US is that the same (and worse) is done by completely unaccountable corporations. What's worse? And moreover, what's the alternative?

Doesn’t use the technology against opponents much, yet.

Alternative is not to use the technology.
