[...]&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;I cannot understand how a person of the intelligence of Vint Cerf could say anything so dumb. It&amp;#x27;s just dumb.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#x27;s happening here is not Cerf being dumb, because obviously he&amp;#x27;s not. He&amp;#x27;s been bought by Google a long time ago and Google has &lt;i&gt;destruction of privacy&lt;/i&gt; as their business model (just like Facebook, and the rest of them).&lt;p&gt;Good money has allowed Vint to brainwash himself into actually thinking that destroying privacy is acceptable. He&amp;#x27;s basically just attempting to find a way out of the inner conflict he must have, working for Google. (So yes, he&amp;#x27;d actually benefit from seeing a shrink.)</text></comment>

I find it shocking the lack of public reaction to the behaviour of various world governments, be it in the UK, Australia, France, the U.S., everywhere the government is making a grab for more and wider surveillance powers, the majority of the population seem totally oblivious. There needs to be much wider awareness of this for any serious changes to happen on a wide scale. Problem is, how do you accomplish that?</text></comment>
