So this article went over everyone's head??? The surveillance apparatus is the that they were able to be identified immediately. You guys prove the authors point. It's so normalized it doesn't seem out of place. Not only that they were blasted around the world just as fast.

The post we're in right now showing their names and faces. The comment section we're in. This is part of the mass surveillance machine.

The witch hunt is self evident but I suppose I need to be blunt. It's because they're deemed worthy of your scorn. So you accept the dystopian surveillance state because in this instance it has served your purpose.

Crazy times.

So they were identified by a government agency or an entity acting within that scope?

dystopian surveillance ~~state~~

There I fixed it.

Go to reddit and stay there if you want to debase yourself with that obtuse nonsense. Otherwise grow up.
