If the root of his theory is that people should be supporting and turning to the government more, to empower their rights, then I agree.<p>Especially when we consider the strong Anerican narrative on how tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook etc. are "fighting" the US government against weakening encryption (for example) or for more data privacy. Or how Apple is so great for not harvesting our personal data. Where as the truth is that they are all slowly squeezing out more and more of our personal data (yes, even Apple).<p>EU has set the right tone with their data privacy laws and India too is deliberating on how to frame these laws. More of us need to contact our legislators and voice our concerns regarding the things that we don't like rather than doing nothing with the delusion that some corporate will be our saviour.
