  • Absolutely, that’s why we need to prevent things that would enable abuse.

    There’s always going to be people pushing for more power, and we need to be alert because that power will endanger people. We’ve seen that in America, we’ve seen that time and time again throughout history. Unchecked power causes abuse and dead people.

    It’s going to be a balancing act, naturally the role of government will require some level of power over it’s people, but ideally the people also get a say in that.

    The biggest roadblock to our own safety in that regard is complacency. Why else are we being turned into passive consumers? Those with money know it’s easier to manage a docile consumer population than it is to manage something like France. Strong consumer rights, and the general willingness of the population to actually get mad and start wrecking shit have left them in a largely advantageous position.

    So yes, I believe you should push back even on the small abuses of power and privacy, both because it’s important, and because it gets you used to pushing back when actually abuses of power start occurring.
