American Panopticon: The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.
Nice! Reminds me of the argument of Thrasymachus in The Republic (338e-339c):
"And they declare what they have made -- what is to their own advantage -- to be just for their subjects, and they punish anyone who goes against this as lawless and unjust. This, then, is what I say justice is, the same in all cities, the advantage of the established rule... [A]nyone who reasons correctly will conclude that [justice] is the same everywhere, namely, the advantage of the stronger."
