"Unchecked Surveillance Technology Is Leading Us Towards Totalitarianism"
The only people that bitch about any type of surveillance are the rich people. Hell most of the youth of americu love the exposure. And it creates a great environment for new stuff. Every night, i get naked and put my dick in my hand, walk outside on the deck, lean way back and shake my weiny up at the sky. I have a "fuck you trump" sheet of paper that i hold in the other hand, and shake it at the sky too. Who knows?
