While no one likes to be watched... It is the actions of those who use our technology for illegal activity that have caused the authorities to consider/take these actions.

You can't blame someone/corporations for trying to protect their rights... this is a case of an ignorant few spoiling it for the rest of us.

Like most things though this is an "arms race"... as the authorities get better at spying on us... we get better at hiding... This evolution is the crux of natural selection, and we will end up with more secure systems because of it... :-) There is a light at the end of most tunnels.

Of course, but in this case I think the cure is far worse than the problem. It attacks the very core of the fundaments of our system as it is today.


Then the only solution is to police the networks ourselves.
