WW1? Ha! I live in a country (ZA) where, up to 1990, people (black, white, green, yellow, purple) were thrown in jail for the sake of "national security" (saying anything that the government didn't approve of, like white = black).
For people to be comparing freedom of speech to something like authorities being able to look at your email, is IMHO a bit rediculous. Maby it's because I grew up with very limited civil rights and now appreciate even the most basic, or maby I just don't see the big picture. If that's the case, could someone please explain it to me.
