Prepare your guns!" where everyone could see it and it'll get removed by ISP's on the way to your pc on the fly if the government wants it gone.
Everything we do is being watched and censored in the name of fighting terrorism - and it in some ways should be but the battle against terrorism will be lost anyways because it's impossible to stop due to advancements in technologiy. Look at drones - those are fucking TERRIFYING. There's nothing that can prevent a terrorist from from buying a used $1-2k drone off craigslist, loading it with a couple of kg of explosives and flying it into a crowd of people during a parade from half a mile away or more. It's too small to be caught on radar and too fast to shoot down (not that some cop seeing one would nessesarily react immediately and start shooting at it to begin with).
