And the advances in technology enabling mass surveillance which authoritarians globally are gleefully jumping all over.

Both indicative and enabling.
@Em0nM4stodon In ‘99 Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy said “You have no privacy”, “It’s a red-herring”, “Get over it.”
@Em0nM4stodon I still can't fathom their interest in this. Money? After all, as politicians, they earn a lot of it. Fame? Who would want to be famous for something like that? Or perhaps an attempt to create a system that could eliminate political opponents to maintain power? But who would vote for those who blatantly took away such basic rights? I just don't know. I don't know what interest they could possibly have in this 😥
@ppaluchowski64 Control. They want to control us. To control the peasants.
