You cannot expose the mechanism running your country, yet the country's
nannies are permitted to infiltrate everything that relates to you, even
data that's being stored by your trusted company/friend (e.g. Google).
Sounds like the regime there is becoming more oppressive as more bills are
passed which permit exchange of data (more latterly even across the
Atlantic, IIRC).
