Importance of Privacy and Government Surveillance
The speaker highlights the importance of maintaining privacy and being cautious of government surveillance. They reference historical examples to illustrate the potential consequences of complacency towards government intrusion. The speaker emphasizes that while they don't anticipate mass persecution by the government, they argue that individuals can be targeted for various reasons, and once targeted, there is little one can do to protect themselves. The speaker also mentions the case of the San Bernardino shooter, where Apple initially refused to help the FBI unlock the shooter's iPhone, which was eventually cracked by an Israeli company for $6 million.
