Food for thoughts, Privacy

Reading about what is happening in Australia I keep thinking, this world is becoming a place where the people no longer has power, the power is on the hands of the ones in power (government).

Mexico is going the same way, the government has also required the carriers to save the metadata for up to 2 years, but no one knows how this information will be used, and which controls are in place to stop the bad guys to have access to it.

As far as I know, I would like no one from the government to have access to it, just because the history has proved us that we should not trust the words from the people in the government.
