speak specifically about this, and for some and sometimes many, it just does not sink in. In near every instance, their will be someone on the panel or several in the audience that will put forth the lame argument (and I've seen it hear on DU, as well) who support the surveillance state with, "if you've got nothing to hide…."

The more studies the better to counter such idiocy.

...while at the same time hilariously imagining themselves as part of an "underground."

when all they had to do was look at oh, say, China for a pretty vivid example??

More 'quality reporting' from our comrades at the Intercept (who I imagine will be jumping on the Trump bandwagon full-throttle any day now)

"if you've nothing to hide"

Hell, I hear it on DU enough, let alone the rest of the rest of the world. And your red-baiting is similarly disgusting as well as your low-information accusation (just for the smear of it) re trump.

Good to know...

A study stating the obvious is still a study stating the obvious... Fight me all you want, but I refuse to be silent on that and the Intercept's selective outrage...

And if you think the Intercept staff doesn't hate Hillary enough to start pumping up Trump, I'll invite you to read Jilani and Fang's twitter accounts sometime...

It's the difference between common sense telling you that people self-censor and understanding to what degree that is true.

"One day I learned just how it used to be
The devils' curse brought the whole world to it's knees
And it was "Hey you, keep your head down
Don't look around, please don't make a sound
If they should find you now
The Man will shoot you down"

What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware"
