I used to think that could never happen here


But after the US collectively shrugged its shoulders at Snowden's revelations of government spying, and more recently the revelations that facebook will spy on you and sell your data to random companies, I can see our government doing pretty much whatever it wants with little to no pushback. It seems we've resigned ourselves to not caring about intrusions into our lives anymore.

Though China feels like it's one step away from Minority Report's pre-crime division.
