     It's the battle for the good of the commons versus individual freedom. This attitude covers everything including the debate over climate change.

     I also think they are doing it from a selfish individualistic point of view, while ignoring the very real surveillance dangers and control via manipulation from a bunch of con artists who tell them what to hear.
