The reason we don't want the government tracking us is that we don't trust them with our private data. Most governments are tracking you without your knowledge. This makes us trust government even less. If our trust in government continues to deterirate, it will eventually lead to the destruction of our societies as we know it. Government need to increase transparency or they need to stop tracking. It has to be one or the other.
A bipartisan group of legislators today introduced bills in the House and Senate that would expand transparency requirements when it comes to government surveillance of US citizens, adding email, text, location and cloud data to the existing reporting framework.
Currently, the US government is required to alert Americans who have been targeted by wiretaps and bank record subpoenas, but this doesn't apply to digital or cloud data.
The Government Surveillance Transparency Act aims to adjust the parameters of this rule, expanding it to cover more common, modern forms of digital communication and data storage.
The bill also addresses the government's use of gag orders to halt technology companies from informing their customers of surveillance campaigns.
While many tech companies have tried voluntarily reporting government subpoenas and data requests to their customers, authorities have used gag orders to keep these campaigns secret, according to the legislators.

One Direct Democracy
The reality is that we have reached a point in time in our evolution where Representative Democracy no longer serves the will of the people and technology can solve the problems that made Direct Democracy impractical.
That's why I created One Direct Democracy. It's a movement for upgrading the global democratic system by taking the power away from politicians and putting it in the hands of the people by using Direct Democracy.
I've created the technology and a plan for how to make this work.
