    NSA surveillance can’t even stop the many mass shooters in the United States. These chucklefucks don’t do anything useful.

      Although, if they do stop some mass shootings we’d likely never hear about it. So it’s not really that straightforward to understand what, if any, impact it has had.

    I find it funny in many ways as the privacy they are eroding is likely to disproportionately affect them as many of them are mixed up in corruption. We are going to hear about more and more exposed corruption over the next few years as AI enters the mix and sniffs out sorts of things people thought could never be connected to them. It is the only upside of our privacy being eroded as far as I can tell. That and I guess that we are the humans who have been immortalized in data.
