Same same ... but different, or vice versa. Technologically more extensive now; politically/economically, same targets as ever but now with a new legitimation. The surveilled back then were "commies and pinkos", now they're (we're) "potential terrorists", but it's still the same pacifist, anti-war, pro-ecological, pro-union folks. I wonder what my mom's FBI file now contains, were she to request an updated copy. Or mine, for that matter.
