I'm so tired of this argument. It doesn't work. Nobody volunteers to willingly and knowingly sacrifice their privacy. Politicians do this even after promising the opposite.

And I'm so tired of people just voting straight down the party line. That's why nothing works.

Joking aside - making good privacy laws is not an easy task. “privacy” is not even easy to define, much less create fair laws around what will likely be an imperfect definition.
