Post the Charlie Hebdo attack, the "
Snoopers Charter" is being mooted again in the UK; the
USA is talking about reintroducing CISPA (already in the works as a result of the Sony Hack, but the events in Paris have handed Legislators more impetus); with various Governments the World over thinking up new (and reintroducing/bolstering old) ways to actively monitor citizens communications 24/7 absent normal due process. In effect these measures flip selective enforcement on its head and would put the entire globe into a perpetual state of war - which can be argued as the only legitimate reason broad-sweeping monitoring
might be justified - where the mere
threat of a possibility justifies anything and everything. And it still won't keep anyone safe.
