Our dependence on technology enables new vectors of control and I am not as optimistic about the ability of laws to guarantee these will not be abused. Trust in government as an agent of freedom is a very recent (not to mention regional) development. I say we err on the side of freedom and don't tempt government too much with opportunities for technology-assisted totalitarianism.
