Suppression of citizens
-> governments that may want to spy on and suppress their citizens
We saw with Covid how the 'free' press and the 'free' internet effectively closed off debate about Covid, and how we mere earthworms must accept the 'wisdom' of those in power. There was only one point of view, and if you didn't stick to it you were accused of spreading false information.
RIPA? Remember that? Supposed to be used for terrorists and serious crimes? How about being used to see which parents managed to get their children to a better school?
I do not trust the government one inch.
