Conversation

The thing that gets me is when you know things like this are going on absolutely pervasively - https://www.404media.co/airlines-sell-5-billion-plane-ticket-records-to-the-government-for-warrantless-searching/ - and still see governments insisting that despite the fact that they can pinpoint your location at any moment and keep an archive of your life going back as far as storage capacity permits, they still need every conversation you’re a part of from cradle to grave to be legible and searchable because the data they already have is somehow not enough.
