“I’m an optimist on the future of technology. But the way a lot of it is going to be applied by people in government is a different question.

They say it’s to track sex offenders or catch terrorists, but what’s clearly at stake here is the universal monitoring of everyone all the time – just like in 1984. The bad news is that it’s here now, and spreading around the world.”
