People will post their tired moral objections(as I used to), but in a world where public information is already heavily monitored, censored and controlled, and where people are already arrested for posting song lyrics or making their dog do comedy sketches, why not just completely let the cat out of the bag and stop pretending we have any sort of reasonable control over our own private lives, thoughts or opinions outside of government, intelligence agencies and public-perception altering mega-corporations? I’m quite serious here. There’s almost no point in fighting at this point.

I would personally like to see law enforcement and intelligence agencies double down on their use of these kinds of tools, but, you know, to catch drug traffickers, terrorists, illegal arms dealers, money launderers, actual criminals who want to harm people, or is that too much to ask?

If Trucker John is going to be arrested for posting something vaguely racist under a Twitter video where 5 guys are brutally murdering someone, why not also catch the actual criminals in the video?

I’m dead serious here. Let’s just accelerate. Make the internet and internet-connected devices defacto public property and allow full access to law enforcement. I’d rather have all this be regulated with oversight, than the alternative.
