Any revolution without the privacy available at the time would have never succeeded. The ability for people to communicate without the state being able to listen presents too much of a danger to be allowed. This is true in every kind of state, democracy, theocracy, authoritarian, doesnt matter.

It's a psychology thing I admit, but having the post spilt up across Mastodon posts immediately makes this take a hit to their ability to speak with authority. It might just be due to my age but constraining their writing to the post limits also hurts the statements. It makes the whole segment seem reactionary in an internet drama kind of way on one end, or conspiracy theorist writing on the other. I hope someone in tech journalism picks up the story so we get a proper article on this. Right now it's just a "they said" and "they did" without supporting substance.
