I watched Citizenfour recently, and it is remarkable how little has changed. I wonder whether people have forgotten or they just don't care.

People don't want to belive it's possible. Whenever I tell friends and family about this they truly dont belive this will ever happen to them and if it does, they don't want to understand the ramifications and just say it's fine.

Most people have. I was hopeful that the extension on FISA / section 702 would get removed from the NDAA today but it looks like that failed 65-35. I suppose some hope still remains as it works it's way through the house, and / or the extension ends.

Not holding my breath, though.
