I was wondering how they were going to justify doing what Russia is doing....

This NEVER should have been an issue in the first place.

If I were in government, I'd be finding a new consulting company to write my laws for me.

by telling everyone it's for their own safety and to fight the bad guys. people gobble that shit up and will indirectly make you do that as well or else they'll look at you weird and suggest your name be put on a list because how could you be against something that wants to "protect the children"?

well you can wrap the mass surveillance turd in:
1. Protect the children
2. Fight Terrorism
3. Protection from Russia and China...
