gollark: I mean, privately sent messages sent over the internet are, you know, *not* public?
gollark: As I said, according to that Wikipedia article, even just relatively small-scale surveillance has *already been abused* to harm activists.
gollark: And besides, I don't care if it's constitutional, I care if it's actually ethical.
