We should fight first for a proper legal recourse, and once this happens, then we can also fight for no scanning.
It does not matter, because we don't have any fight left in us at all..
I'm more than prepared to just stop working for a few days or even a week or two.
I already actively boycott Chinese products where possible (I buy non Chinese if at all possible, even at significant higher prices), support the Georgian Legion with my own cash and have probably spent hundreds of hours on unpaid online activism this half year on top of what I do for my church (although in all fairness it still does more for me).
If enough people band together and just plain stop working, sooner or later politicians will have to listen.
There is no good excuse for this kind of spying apparatus, period. If anything, having a mandated formal process for reinstating banned accounts will make the scanning more acceptable, which it shouldn't be.
