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.
