Doesn't it seem that countries are coordinating their surveillance laws these days? All of a sudden every government wants their citizens to submit ID when using the internet. All of a sudden every government decides that E2EE messaging is intolerable. All of a sudden every government decides something must be done about VPNs.

I used to read these stories and think "that sucks for people in the UK." But now I think it doesn't matter where each of these laws starts; every other country will do something similar soon.
