We have had endless privacy wank over how to prevent public health officials from seeing potentially lifesaving cellphone location data, and meanwhile this kind of FBI power grab passes the Senate by a single vote, because Bernie Sanders couldn't be bothered to show up.
The only effective defense of digital privacy I have seen in the United States has been in the fight against epidemiology by a class of lawyers and academics, all safely working from home.
A pox on all of you. And look, we happen to have a pox handy!
