@irene to what? 😅

While I hope something similar never happens, I hope if there's anything like a Las Vegas incident in the Netherlands after this comes into effect, instead of people wondering what else they can give up in the name of security, your countrymen do the sensible thing and question why, with all the power your government has to collect information, they still couldn't prevent it, seeing as how that's ostensibly why they're spying on their own people in the first place.

Privacy is a legend
So the country I live in is going to get a huge mass surveillance law. Currently we're trying to force a referendum because this is highly (privacy) intrusive. We can still sign them for a little bit and a friend of mine hadn't done that yet. His reasoning was that it I isn't binding anyways.
We've got this John Oliver equivilant in the Netherlands who did a piece about this.
I put it on for my friend saying that I just wanted him to watch it. If he wouldn't change his mind afterwards, I wouldn't pressure him or anything.
We watched it.
Afterwards he looked at me with eyes like 😵😧😷😲😮😫.
"they'll REALLY be able to do this shit!?!"
"where can I sign this fucking thing to get this referendum going?"
So I asked him why he suddenly was all for it.
"I'm not much of a privacy guy but this shit just crossed a fucking line".
He's going to sign it as fast as possible 😁
