Why is surveillance something to be worried about? And is all surveillance created equal? These aren’t “gotchas” or whatever, these are honest questions about your thought process here. Why is surveillance bad? What things can it be used to do? And surely another country’s surveillance is overall less impactful (and less of a threat) than your own. (I’m far more worried about my own government spying on me than I am with a foreign country like China, simply because they have less ability to actually do anything to me, being an ocean away).
Because I don’t want to be spied on. What’s wrong with having some privacy?
Yes, I agree, but why is being spied on bad? What is the problem with it? I have my own reasons for disliking it, but I don’t know what you personally dislike about it. What is your response to the bullshit “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about?”
What more of a reason do you need to have. It’s a human right, I don’t want to be treated like a criminal and have my data harvested for profit. I don’t leave my door and windows open for anyone to look at me, and I also don’t want anyone spying at me online. Especially some giant, lying, thieving, greedy, no good corporations.
What is your response to the bullshit “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about?”
If someone spew that idiotic nonsense at me I would demand they let me in their house so I can look what they’re doing during the day since they’re the paragon of security.
