FBI examined Google records to see if anyone had knowledge of Guccifer persona
Everybody’s worst nightmares when it comes to surveillance keep coming true. I’ve started to suspect the “I got nothing to hide” attitude that many privacy advocates criticize is at some level a defense mechanism for the realization that you’re completely owned and completely powerless. In other words, they know that if they really sat down and thought about what was in their Google searches, DNS lookups, or credit card purchases they would be very disturbed, so they choose not to think about it to maintain sanity. People are smarter than we give them credit for.<p>Because many on HN know and consciously recognize the facts here, my question would be: how do you all cope with surveillance?
