Going Through Snowden Documents, Part 1

I wrote my dissertation on information privacy back in 2003. Post 9/11, privacy was WILDLY unpopular thanks to government propaganda. It's never recovered. I walk around all the time thinking about how we are so close to what East Germans had to deal with, it's just soft glove tyranny here <for now>.

If they remade that movie with a modern spin, it would be an AI model deciding who is loyal and who isn't.
