I am becoming quite frightened with the direction that, seemingly all western nations (USA, Canada, UK, Eurozone, Australia) are heading toward. All are implementing authoritarian fascist policies on their communications simultaneously in what I think is an effort to pre-empt or be able to crush any sort of "Western Spring" revolution.
If this continues we are definitely heading directly into a Orwellian-style dystopian future, where a World Government is capable of spying and controlling every action of society.
