It’s almost like our institutions and political class across the developed world are acting on behalf of capital and not in the peoples best interests…
Maybe that’s why they all collude with surveillance capitalism to violate our civil rights wholesale, and expand the surveillance state…
These are not the actions of a government “for the people”. These are the actions of criminally corrupt tyrants and traitors who should spend the rest of their lives in prison. The fact that they won’t should tell you everything you need to know about our “democracies”.
Well, my country’s legislative bunch has already said, that mass surveilance is against our constitution. I doubt Finland is the only country in EU to have that, so even if it passes fully, it is going to have some big hurdles ahead.
