i don't get why people get so worked up about this.

does the fact that drugs are illegal stop people from using or abusing them? (simplest example)

it's not like the laws are hidden or modified to suit the situation. if you know that 'they' can listen to 'everything' you say on the phone then don't use the phone for what's common knowledge as being illegal. otherwise who cares? so there's a backup of you trying to pickup and getting shot down. so what?

you don't HAVE to adhere to the law, but being cognitive of what those laws are and how they're enforced makes it significantly simpler to circumvent them.

face recognition in schools. kind of out there, but how many corporations have biometric scanners to read fingerprints? mine isn't exactly the top of the tech pile but i scan my thumb at least 4 times a day.

basically it boils down to this - 'they' aren't after you unless you've got something significant to hide or are causing 'them' major distress.

also, don't fool yourself into believing you won't eventually grow old and become 'the man' too. you might not ever see yourself in that light but you can't force other people's perspectives.
