We need a privacy equivalent of mutually assured destruction. All politicians submit documentation of their most hideous perversions to a central register. If the country is caught spying on another the information is released. It would also encourage people who are not bad to go into politics.


It's already kind of happened informally. It acts like natural selection and you get really boring squares or people really good at hiding things.


and the only way to ensure that all hideous perversions are submitted is... total surveillance!
