Don’t get me wrong; I am against online snooping done by governments. I firmly believe that the internet should remain free from government interference. The massive online surveillance program that the US government conducted during Obama’s rule was not just unconstitutional, but it irrevocably harmed the democracy that generations of Americans have toiled to preserve and strengthen.

AUSTIN, TEXAS – November 14, 2018 Women fought for equality for a long time: for the right to property, for the right to elect and be elected, to have the possibility to build a career as men do.
