And this is why the constitution is in place. To prevent the government from overstepping.

The people have to wield its power. It won’t act on its own.

Constitutions around the world were absolutely trampled under the guise of an axiomatically defined emergency that trumped fundamental freedoms and civil rights.
Freedom of movement, association, speech, religion, bodily autonomy and more... All down the drain.
All you need is a bit of collision between government media and tech and you're golden.

The constitution was written a long time ago and really says nothing about information technology for obvious reasons. The fact that we don't have amendments for a lot of modern issues is a scary thing for the general population.
