My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Waste of resources and a total over reaction by the state.
Of course anti terrorist laws will never be used against over crimes, not even sarcasm.
Oh no, that was a sarcastic statement. I'm going to jail for life. I have no chance as I'm a repeat offender.

Re: The internet is a panopticon
