I see a lot of grudge in the community about surveillance of posting surfaces for unlawful content, like if the authorities put in charge of fighting crime are some kind of extenal tyrannical force imposed onto poor people, and not the direct actions of a democratically elected government.

While I fully support lobbying efforts like stopscanningme, because they rise awareness in people that ultimately vote governments so that they might do more informed voting choices, I just don't condone all of this whining about mass surveillance on privately operated companies:

remember that gmail, facebook, whatsapp, etc.. are for profit, privately held companies that are held accountable for the content that circulates on their platforms. Companies, like any other citizen, must abide the law and not become a free field for Child Exploitation or Adult Exploitation Imagery.

You want total privacy, which in your mind is the word for "unaccountability"? Use different services or setup your own.

The topic is very vast, but it can't really handled by just saying "bad government, want to wiretap!"
