compliance is the last thing

Also, the Munk Debate between Glenn Greenwald with Alexis Ohanian and Michael Hayden with Alan Dershowitz, concerning the poorly-phrased* resolution that "State surveillance is a legitimate defense of our freedoms," is just wrapping up. It appears to be a little too soon for archival video to be accessible, but I'll post it when I can find it. (well: here it is at The Intercept).

Poorly phrased, as it states an all-or-nothing proposition, when it is clear that some state surveillance -- that conducted within and according to the rule of laws about which all subjects may be similarly informed -- is clearly legitimate and within the traditional roles of government, and similarly clear that any surveillance that is conducted beyond that law undermines those freedoms its proponents claim to defend. "Our freedoms" might also benefit from some definition.
