Must we do this dance every week now? Every other week some country in the world is trying to erode privacy.

This will also not pass and will be withdrawn quietly like that last one they tried.

This request seems to have preceded the stalker app of last week.

I think that's the point: they'll keep pushing for these things, until the public is fatigued and no longer cares to push back; at which point they'll get them through.

It’s a reminder not to take for granted the concept of privacy rights that do exist nor confuse it for a societal default.
