> It's not a good feeling when you get up every morning knowing that your own
government is tracking you. They told me later 'we knew when you got up, we
knew when you left your house, we knew which vehicles you used, where you
stopped, where you shopped', for every electronic communication was being
monitored, on a 24/7 bases, including my phone.
> Where do you go in that regime? Where do you go? Where do you go? Where is
a safe place? Where do you go to be yourself?
Those "nothing to hide" (or "nowhere to hide" as you say) people generally
have no or very little concern about their government tracking them.
> If you think you are innocent, or that you have nothing to hide, you do not
understand what is happening. Justice, like truth, in this system is not
relevant. Ask Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange or Edward Snowden, along with
whistle-blowers like Thomas Drake, where justice and truth got them.
"whistle-blower" is the keyword. Not many people decide to disclose secret
information or do something else that bother their government, they don't
believe that things happened to Manning, Assange or Snowden can apply to
them, not to mention some of them have no respect for whistle-blowers.
