Okay, sounds good?

You genuinely don't think that's ripe for abuse?
When has "ripe for abuse" stopped anything from happening?

Cell phones are ripe for abuse...do you carry one?

Decreasingly so. Particularly if I am going to anything charged (e.g. political rallies). Which is a shame, they are very useful tools and it's a very real chilling effect.
That's not what they asked.

The poster above asked why you personally support total surveillance, despite it being ripe for abuse. How inevitable something may or may not be is completely irrelevant to whether you personally choose to support it. Acknowledging that it can be abused means you have to make that logical connection and say why something being ripe for abuse doesn't preclude you from cheering on for it.

Go live in Mordor; lmk how that goes.
