The Scrapping Of Internet Privacy: Something We Can All Hate Together
(all except Galen, of course)
Stephen doesn't recall any Americans marching in support of abolishing internet privacy. But if they did... victory!
This is what the Galen/Kinser club creates. Let business do what it wants! That makes the economy run! No government aggression! We can't allow government "violence" to protect our privacy from greedy pirates! Go Galen! Free market uber alles!
I think that their idea of Internet freedom is what many in Big Business wants -- freedom of the Market to do whatever it wants to do to people.
Donald Trump and most elected Republicans have the idea that freedom is the right of elites to do things to people.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
