I agree that there is a need to limit topics that can result in vitriol, but I disagree with the notion that we should blanket-ban stories that are deeply intertwined with tech as an industry or as a concept.

This story about the inexorable scope creep of surveillance technology is far too important to ban discussing simply because some users will be vitriolic.

Surveillance and the technology that enables it will be the defining issue of the next decade.
