Huh? The real threats are the threats you have to opt in to use?

This doesn't make sense to me. I can use DuckDuckGo if I don't want google to track me. However, I would have to gain citizenship in another country and then move there to evade the laws these bills put in place.

Laws that allow US politicians and their corporate friends to record me, suppress my free speech, and put me in prison for 5 years. A longer sentence time than the man who killed Michael Jackson (4 years). For simply sharing a music file.

Wow, am I missing something? Really, am I miss understanding what you wrote because I don't see how these bills are not the real threat? How can you say Google and FB are the real threat compared to these bills?

How much does google know about you because your friends use gmail? It knows quite a lot about me.
