@Jessica@Mitsu@icedquinn@lain Norway wanted the same thing as China, a giant firewall that all internet traffic in and out of the country passes through which stores metadata for all connections and periodic full data snapshots of random data.The only "difference" is that they slapped on a "We promise to only use it to 'protect' our citizens and we'll only look at the logs if there's a terrorist attack or something"
@icedquinn@Jessica@Mitsu@lain Probably. Few are as blatant and proven extreme as the US though. Except Russia and China.Here in Norway they basically wanted a great firewall of china too
@icedquinn@Jessica@Mitsu@lain Trusting the face of the companies helps even less when you can't even trust the government to not abuse their power behind the scenes
