“Mass” is kind of an important word there. Swartz and the “many more examples” are still essentially rare and isolated incidents.
I think the issue isn’t the total number but the potential total number. So if there’s mass violation and law enforcement picks and chooses who to prosecute that’s a problem. Although obviously it’s less a problem if they do that 1,000 times a year vs 1,000,000.
They can't do it to everyone because of simple logistics, but they can do it to anyone.
If you didn't get thrown in prison today, it's not because the problem doesn't apply to you and you are safe. It's only because no one decided it would be super convenient for them if you went away.
