Full agreement. Transparency was never meant to be an absolute. World of difference in calling for government and corporate accountability, and flipping the script on the citizens, customers and residents of America.
Demanding a citizenship to become transparent to their legislators and authorities isn't any guarantee of justice or safety, it's a surrender of both. Demanding workers to forego all privacy to their bosses while employed doesn't stop corruption, it reinforces control.
Zero encryption for private citizens and gutting privacy laws means no freedom.
