Some of us do care about disgusting blanket surveillance by EU / GCHQ / US and our own government.
It is possible to reverse a trend.
Well done to Digital Rights Ireland in pursuance of enhancing the right to privacy of the individual.
Surveillance appears to be everywhere from drones that track riots to those CCTV's that monitor people in their daily routines.
Do we care? Probably not.
But somebody like Digital Rights Ireland - Mr McIntyre are prepared to think and act differently to protect our Constitutional right to privacy.
Orwellian
