@eff Before 1984: "There's no reason to fear government listening equipment in your home unless you are doing something wrong." (Source unknown but probably Amazon or Google.)

After 1984: "I'm afraid that a rat might eat my face if I express independent thoughts."

@woo @eff Even if I am discussing something "wrong" or "illegal", those terms are only relative to the law of your government and not actual morality. I refuse to fucking suck the dick of the state and law lol and will discuss with my partner and friends whatever I want lol
