I never said it will solve terrorism. I said it's a good thing that government is trying at least.


How is gathering more data on citizens a good thing?

Do you want to live in a police state? How will this benefit European people?

This rubbish is what leads to civil wars. You (and people like you) think you should know everything about everyone. People fought and died to protect Europeans from that.

You want to go back to fighting for basic rights that were hard won with peoples blood.


It's a good thing for data farmers, marketeers and opressors in power. Remember who the governments are beholden to and their actions(elimination of anonymity, TPIP et al, constant surveillance) all make sense... from their perspective.

How about we put you in jail? You might be a terrorist, so at least we are trying to stop terrorism!

If not, why not?


Shouldn't the government be trying things that are expected to work? Otherwise this is just another example of the Politician's Fallacy.
