Can't you just see the smug bland little dorky faces of the sort of people who do this to others...and what really irks me is that they believe their own bullshit and don't seem to realise that everyone has a right to privacy.

Hitle, Stalin, Mao and crew would have been so proud of this sort of creep.

Ironic thing is that at least on the teritory of former Yugoslavia the majority of people used to live a relatively better life in the former regime than today in so called capitalism. You couldn't say certain things, now you can say whatever you want but nobody gives a shit.

So not only that modern corporations (and thus goverments since it's all interconnected anyway) learned from Hitler, Stalin and Mao, they actually brought it to perfection in so many ways.
