these NSA/illegal surveillance is a ploy to gain control of information, such that when time comes for the poor to revolt, they will have no privacy with which to organize their actions. Their every move will be monitored, and the smallest spark will be snuffed out before it spreads, leading to a state where each citizen is too afraid for their own personal safety (or safety of their loved ones) to really commit much, and such is a way to end revolutions before it starts.
Don't agree to laws that might seem benefitial now, but will be used later to enforce laws you don't agree to later.
