I live in a country where metadata is recorded at the ISP level for government perusal. More than 60 agencies want access this data without a warrant [0]. Why does the Taxi Services Commission need to know my web browsing history? Or Greyhound Racing Victoria? There's also a law specifically making it a crime to post any information about government actions deemed a "special intelligence operation" [1], which makes me think that they're recording this data in bad faith. So fuck 'em. Fuck the government that seeks to monitor everyone in order to entrench their power structure. Fuck them for lying to us, by claiming it's about terrorism. Fuck them for indicating a willingness to prosecute anyone who shines a light on their shady actions. That's why I use a VPN, running on a VPS I have provisioned myself. No, I don't trust the VPS provider, but they have no power to imprison people, nor have they demonstrated a desire to expand their power over others.
