    This is just under 12 minutes long. Tldw. Can someone explain the argument in maybe 1 paragraph? I watched a minute of the video and got bored. I can’t see sending it to anyone. A 1 minute version would be great.

      A few other quotes I like that fit the theme.

      “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

      — V (V for Vendetta)

      “Without privacy, you can’t have anything for yourself. Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
