The conversation we had yesterday on this topic was not very productive. One thing I'd like to see is a clarification about what surveillance actually means to a user. Does it mean:
- Providing IP address details?
- Providing message contents?
- The police compelling you to provide your password?
- Anything else I'm missing?
It would be nice to avoid equivocating "surveillance" and stick to a common definition so we can argue the merits of each potential practice.
