gollark: That's just what the government tells us to keep us complacent.
gollark: Which makes sense, since it's the lizards spying on us from on top of the dome above the hexagonal Earth.

gollark: Wikipedia notes misuse of *non-*mass surveillance in past. Spying on everyone and everything they do online will make it worse.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_United_States
