Privacy is a fundamental human right and if someone “steals” that from you, then the stress it causes can be horrific. Groklaw is the latest fallout of total government surveillance and is closing its doors. Privacy is seen as dangerous because it enhances resistance. The totalitarian state watches everyone, but keeps its own plans secret. Terrorists of all sorts destroy privacy both by corrupting it into secrecy and by using hostile surveillance to undo its useful sanctuary. There is now no shield from forced exposure. No one can feel protected enough to say anything like that to anyone in an email.”]
