Sweet! I did wish the opposition had failed. Might’ve forced more people to care about their privacy and vote for a different government next time.

They backed off from this, I thought. It will probably be back of course.

First NSA started snooping, but I didn’t care because it did not affect me.

Then Israel started snooping, but I didn’t care because I was not the target.

Then India followed in the footsteps but I didn’t speak and instead tacitly supported it.

And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.
