Surveillance Quote by Anonymous
““the sense of immunity felt by a particular group currently in power is bound to be illusory. That is made clear when we look at how partisan affiliation shapes people’s sense of the dangers of state surveillance. What emerges is that yesterday’s cheerleaders can quickly become today’s dissenters.””
