It's either terrorism or child pornography. In my country (Romania) they use to call football hooligans whenever a protest is being made on a bigger scale just so they can put us all in the same boat and have an excuse to use armed forces and disperse everyone on the basis that the event was not peacefully done.

Most of the people I talk to are brainwashed anyway and will happily accept it - just give it time. The discussions over privacy always end-up with something like "I have nothing to hide anyway".

> "I have nothing to hide anyway".

People who make that argument should be forced to have high def webcams installed in their bedrooms and bathrooms.

This would make the most sense if the goal was to actually stop child abuse, given that the majority of it happens in the home.

Not even that: just say sure, give me your phone and pin, and let me read your messages and view your photos.

Guaranteed not 1 person will take you up on that.
