This is exactly what this is about. They are trying to make legal mass drag net surveillance and censorship. The key here is legal, they are already doing it covertly. There are plenty of murmurs this was done on purpose to set the excuse in place for restrict act, etc. Do you use a vpn? 20 years or a million dollar fine. Do you use tor? How about encrypted email? Signal? Crypto currency?

We look more like china everyday.

It was always part of the deal that "God's watching". You just had to believe it before, and now it's kind of literal.

I'm not trying to hide and I don't want to see everybody's lives.

When more people let go of hiding in humility, and do not want to see everything... we could manifest a new America, that didn't start in Plymouth.

The increase of the (now electronic) overseers, makes us more like the 1600s New England. China is playing catch up.

Most cryptocurrencies make dragnet surveillance super easy, barely an inconvenience.
