It was a good four years.
In those four years, all the ‘internet freedom’ guys decided that government mass censorship was a good thing. Having the government control speech on the internet? Vital to fighting disinformaton.
But now, government surveillance is bad again.
Wired, which used to be a pointless magazine riding the dot com wave before becoming a generic lefty blog slop mess has released “The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance”.
Why? Because Orange Man Bad will surely use the bad kind of government surveillance on you.
Good government surveillance prevents people from questioning elections Democrats win or expressing concerns about lockdowns and Islam. Bad government surveillance.. well.
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. He’s vowed to jail his political foes and journalists. A Republican-controlled government could further restrict abortion and transgender rights. Influential conservatives have called for a crackdown on left-leaning activist groups, a replay of Trump’s hardline attitude against protesters in his first administration.
Bad government surveillance is used to arrest illegal aliens and terrorists. Basically.
To carry out all of those spoken and unspoken threats, the incoming Trump administration and Republicans in Congress will tap into—and may very well expand—the American government’s vast surveillance machinery, and they appear poised to use it more than any administration in recent US history.
Obama used government surveillance to spy on his political opponents. Trump used it to spy on Islamic terrorists. Biden used government surveillance to suppress dissenting political speech. I’m gonna guess that Trump will mostly use it to once again surveil Islamic terrorists.
But the media supports Islamic terrorists and supports censoring Americans.
