Indeed, Padmanabhan. It’s good to know we’ve been through this before and the condition is most likely temporary.

Interesting article from an Asian viewpoint. I would like to call attention to his following observation:
“Chinese social media users have no expectation of privacy. The issue simply doesn’t arise: Everything that one does in China is subject to examination by the state.”
We also have to adapt the same attitude.

Very good point, Rosaliene. As a long time activist, I gave up any expectation of privacy 15 years ago.

I am from Seattle. I felt a privacy squeeze there, in the late 90s. It is a military-industrial complex area in the Puget Sound.
The tech billionaires colluded with government, to sell citizens out long ago, in the Seattle area.
That is where I learned to fear and loathe my loss of privacy, in the oncoming police state.
One of the first and, most intrusive license plate scanning systems in the world, exists in the seattle area. They use it, mostly on the poor and vulnerable for petty traffic violations with exhorbitant fines, and to suspend licenses illegaly.
I learned quickly, that the supposed openness and liberalism of Seattle Washington is completely farcical,and superficial.
