So what, don’t do anything to protect yourself because there’s no hope? Give up?

Believe it or not, due process still generally exists and most people still benefit from taking precautions to protect themselves. That’s not to imply that things are great or that we aren’t in a time of declining civil liberties.

Seriously, there is something wrong with privacy doomers.

And yet this distant possibility doesn’t seem to happen very often to citizens, as long as we still have courts. Not that actual abuses should be trivialized.

This comes across as fearmongering to keep people from protecting themselves.
