Don’t understand this pessimism. There are a large number of countries in the world. You can migrate out of a country if they start doing insane things like this.

Unfortunately in 2025 it is a race to the bottom. While some countries (such as the UK) are sinking faster than others, there isn't a single country I can think of that is moving in the right direction when it comes to privacy, free speech and civil liberties.
As someone who knows enough about how much CISCO equipment is purchased around the globe for DPI and privacy invasion as a government business is booming.
