“The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know
virtually everything about what [government officials] do: that’s why
they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals. This dynamic - the hallmark of a healthy and free society - has been radically reversed. Now, they know everything about what we do, and are constantly building systems to know more.
Meanwhile, we know less and less about what they do, as they build
walls of secrecy behind which they function. That’s the imbalance that
needs to come to an end. No democracy can be healthy and functional if
the most consequential acts of those who wield political power are
completely unknown to those to whom they are supposed to be
accountable.” ― Glenn Greenwald
