WikiLeaks attempts to redress the imbalance of power.

Assange: Entire nations intercepted online, key turned to totalitarian rule - RT

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says all the necessary physical infrastructure for absolute totalitarianism through the internet is ready. He told RT that the question now is whether the turnkey process that already started will go all the way.

...whoever physically controls this controls the realm of our ideas and communications. And whoever is able to sit on those communications channels, can intercept entire nations, and that’s the new game in town, as far as state spying is concerned – intercepting entire nations, not individuals.

...'it is cheaper to intercept every individual rather that it is to pick particular people to spy upon'...

Do you know what you were thinking one year, two days, three months ago? No, you don’t know, but Google knows, it remembers.

The National Security Agency who intercepts the request if it flowed over the US border, it knows.

So by just communicating to our friends, by emailing each other, by updating Facebook profiles, we are informing on our friends.
