I would've liked to say that I will fight back, but in a world where we communicate by sending unencrypted information to each other, I don't see how it's possible to stop people from spying on that information. It's kind of like internet piracy: Technology makes it so easy that it's virtually unstoppable. Even if outlawed, people are just going to break those laws, as they are doing, both when it comes to piracy and surveillance. Well, except for when they make laws to make surveillance legal, but not piracy. Because... uh... it's important that governments get to do what they want, but the people should just pay and obey.

Anyway, please fight them even if it's futile. "Can't someone else do it?" Yes, you can!
