Chilling.

I'm really getting to the point where I just want to start removing myself from the internet.
At least going forward there is a chance that my privacy might stay intact.
As for the past, well that ship has sailed, unfortunately.
That kind of leaves a question:
If all of our communications are monitored now, how do we actually have free speech?
How do we communicate in a modern world?
