Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.

Also, I think there will be a lucrative market for technicians who can disable this “kill switch” in the computer system.
Of course they will make that a felony also, and Silverglate will have to up the count.
