You are cute.
I'm part of org working with ACLU, EFF and actual more important and active orgs that would would not know about.
When I go to city council, its with 50 other peoples and 4 or 5 other speakers.
Its when we need to have our representative on the record.
Me and other folks in that loose network of org have forced our city to pass regulations, have our police force admit they use surveillance without oversifht, and expose their poor security practice overall.
Good luck in your comfort that your country is not broken
You're cute too.
So you accomplished all these things and yet the country is broken?
I'm confused. Did you not get everything you wanted fast enough? How sad :(
It's my hobby! some people like 3d printing or trolling on the internet.
I like to prevent my city council to implement more surveillance and expose how cosy they are with the companies selling said surveillance.
>So you accomplished all these things and yet the country is broken
Yes. Those things are meaningless in the face of 3 letter agency capability or broad stroke regulation like FISA (recent big win by the folks at RT4 there, normies have not heard of it but those people did a great job at influencing republican politician )
> Did you not get everything you wanted fast enough? How sad :(
I mostly want privacy, for myself and the people who seek it.
I don't find that too much to ask in a country that is fast to point the finger at China "dystopian level of surveillance"
10 years is a sizeable slice of life. Their was some progress and wins. And those days the zeitgeist is on our side.
But its sad yes.
