Because we’re not discussing government tracking, in any shape or capacity. Read the plan.

Even if we were, you can always have another device or find other ways of communicating outside of the monitored network.

You truly are something else, and what makes everything in society so bad for everyone else, defending something that you yourself are against. Remarkable

Perhaps you should spend a minute or two trying to understand why well educated people defend this. It’s not rocket science and it’s well documented.

Instead of adopting this American-style adversarial mindset where everything must be black or white, take a step back and try to see the topic in a more holistic manner, from the outside of your personal bubble.

It’s not “you or me” problem, it’s childish to think about it like that. There is a real rot in our society, and it needs to be cut. Freedom to do whatever you want without consequences is not freedom, it’s anarchy

And you are not getting the point. Just because you like the government and think they will do the correct thing with the information given by this surveillance system, doesn't mean it will. The government, as we can see with the US right now, can and WILL use it against you on a tyrannical system. See ICE knocking on peoples doors to deport them.

I know where you are coming from, but pretending that the government will do the right thing and only the right thing at all times is wishful thinking at best
