@35765361 Gosh! I just "boiled a random soup" from possible situations, and something of that _already_ happened.
People would communicate less online actually, as they will recognize the threat of state watching over shoulder, as more and more of that will happen. May be it is necessary step to reduce that over-dependency on gadgets. May be people will respond by using some "forbidden" software anyway, giving each other paperbooks "samizdat" about programming, compilers & cryptography, and code.... 

 @ffdda9ce Can only imagine how bad it might get if profit seeking companies continue lobbying for this tech in... everything.

Like Thorn is doing.

Agree with you, people may benefit being less reliant in some situations, especially with the direction legislation is going.
