Consider this latest NSA/interwebz monitoring thing. Are people upset? Yes, sure, but I'm betting money on that most people worry more about the authorities being able to trace their frequent Pornhub visits than all the rest of it. Will there be an uprising because of it? No.
What surprises me is that some people are actually surprised. What did they think? That the internet would be unsupervised and unmonitored just because this isn't China? Oh please. Your employer knows what pages you visit. Your ISP knows. And your government knows.
