We are supposed to trust our governments however it is pretty obvious that a Trump could come along and seriously misuse the backdoors that were said to be necessary to protect us. It doesn’t matter if you trust the current mob, it’s a rogue future mob we have to guard against.
Border guards searching phones and making arrests after finding anything critical of Trump, on the grounds of "extremism" is a pretty big indicator.
Well, the future has arrived in the US but not everywhere else 😬
