@ParadeGrotesque @privacy

my point has nothing to do with either phone or computer. My point is that when a governement wants to pass a law that will reduce personnal freedom, there is very little you or me can do to prevent it. Examples abunds.
feel free to point me to counter-examples.

@FrankauLux

True, which is why organizations like @privacy exist, and why you should support them.

They do the research and the lobbying. That's worth your support.
