6-12 months ago we were all up in arms about invasions into our privacy by the government. Now we know they listened to our phone calls, read our emails, turned on cameras and microphones on through our phones and laptops completely without our knowledge, tracked us using our electronic devices. Now it's like "give all police cameras so they can record everything all the time. That'll make you safer!" Notice this happens after people were working up steam about turning back some of the citizen surveillance that was passed after 9/11.
I'm not saying I have a better solution, just that the narrative sure did turn around really quick.
