    Sure, but emphasis on brief. Big Tech also abandoned privacy activists during the FISA 702 debate last year.

    There has been a brief post-Snowden truce between Big Tech and activists that lead to increased encryption, USA Freedom Act, protection of E2E and strong device encryption.

    1) I'm not sure how to make people remember or care that 15 years ago the United States invaded Iraq, setting off a war that continues to this day, with several hundred thousand Iraqis dead, millions turned into refugees. I covered the invasion for the New York Times Magazine.

    Some more details on the Dutch vote, I think based on an Ipsos exit poll. The youngest voters (18-24) had the largest proportion against the law: 63%. Ages 25-34 were 57% against. The national average a much closer split, 49% for vs. 51% against.

    Congratulations to the people of the Netherlands. The deck was stacked against you, but you fought—and won—with over 60% of the youth choosing freedom over fear. Now the hard part: making the government respect the public's will. Stay free!
