This isn't the forum for discussions on democracy, but I do want to point out that what some people see as some kind of oppression is seen by others as an extremely useful and beneficial aspect of society - like Horst's example of UPIs which are anathema in some places (including Australia!) and indispensible elsewhere. These issues are complex, and related to trust and openness; societal trust of governments is a hard-won thing.
