    A long time ago, someone from a not free country wrote a white paper on why we should care about privacy, because written words can be edited to level false accusations (charges) with false evidence. This chills me to the bone.

      This is turning into some Mistborn shit. “Don’t trust writing not written on metal”

      I’d be less-concerned about the impact on not-free countries than free countries. Dictator Bob doesn’t need evidence to have the justice system get rid of you, because he controls the justice system.
