I'm aware that you're trolling, but how does that follow? The rather strict
privacy laws exist to make it harder for a government (or, really, any
organization or individual) to collect too much data on a single person -
and that is exactly to help prevent a dictatorship.

Sadly, though, that lesson seems to have fallen by the wayside, and more and
more privacy is being invaded by the government. We are following the US'
bad example.
