gollark: Let me just find a constitution online, I'm not in America where these things must be everywhere.

gollark: I don't consider "constitutional" to be "ethical" and I think that it probably isn't constitutional under reasonable interpretations anyway.

gollark: Private homes in this analogy would be private emails and all that stuff.
