That's always been the problem with surveillance, but these twats never seemed to realize it when they brought it up. How fucking stupid can you be before you just forget to breathe for an hour or two?
oh they realize, they just don't care
It'll never abused nor fall on the wrong hands. Never. And then it does and they act like nobody could foresee that happening. It's infuriating.
All the data collection going on, it'll backfire spectacularly eventually.
