You have to understand that little things make a difference. You don't have to be the next Julian Assange.

For example, who was the guy who convinced the WhatsApp folk to implement E2E encryption?

Small actions can have large, positive consequences.

Anyone reading this from the UK: don't lose hope. You can change things. The recent uptick in fascism in the UK is really disheartening but your voice needs to be heard.

For example, they tried to bring in censorship in Australia and failed. Change is possible. Don't be a pushover. You must fight.

They're not looking for actual terrorists or criminals. They're looking for people like Occupy Wall Street protesters, who actually pose a threat (ie. redistribution of wealth) to those in power. Then as soon as they do something like pirate a movie, they can be thrown in jail (ie politically neutered).

Democracies can fail, for example the recent rise of Erdogan. Asshats in power want democracy to fail because when it does they will be the ones in power.
