I choose to follow the law, but it’s an obligation not a decision. Framing it like this just misses the big picture entirely. A few words from a tech CEO is all it takes for this government to take extreme measures like this.

Viewing it as an obligation means you are weak. There are consequences to disobeying the law - a successful person will view them through the lens of cost-benefit analysis, not of dogma.
Good luck with that. I hope you’re successful in your law breaking endeavours with your highly informed cost benefit analyses.
I've broken many laws. Have you not? Never crossed at a red light with no cars in sight?
