The most depressing realization in all of this is that the vast treasure trove of data that we used to have in the cloud thinking it was not scannable even for criminal activity has now become a vector where we shall have thought police coming down upon us for simple ideas of dissent.

Trump will take office on Monday. If he chooses to declare some progressive idea as anti-american, a lot of people, who previously said nothing illegal, could face hostility from "patriots".

I hope this doesn't happen. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Old data can become toxic waste.
