It's our governments, it's not us. I'm disgusted too, which is why I'm reporting them to the police.

Can you report back on the results? I'd be very interested in finding out how they respond. I think they have to register a crime and give you a crime number if you ask for one.

will do, I'm currently looking at how best to report it but I'll post here when it's done.

I don't want to see your dick, but I don't have a massively funded standing army or insane amounts of money to sway those who do.

Like it or not, this is the reality of our world now: control belongs to paranoid career bureaucrats more interested in preserving their budgets than any measure of civil liberty.

Yeah - terrible. Other governments do nothing of the sort.

The difference is these countries pride themselves on the freedoms their citizens possess, yet they go behind their backs and surveil everything and anything they can about them, usually using technologies and platforms their own citizens helped devise.

Which countries do not pride themselves on the freedoms of their citizens?
