I loved the video. I really liked the visuals and how they went with the audio. They added a touch of humour and amusement. It also got me thinking about lots of ankles I hadnt thought of before. Great job!!!

The first two points, how surveillance is never egalitarian and digital information is never ephemeral was some stuff I hadnt thought much about.

Something I'd like to see added: I remember reading about how privacy should be considered a fundamental right. Privacy is fundamental to the fabric of our society and I think our society wouldnt function the way it does now if we didnt have our privacy. I wish more people thought of it that way. When our privacy is taken away and that is questioned, we shouldnt be the ones who have to explain why we need our privacy, but the other party should explain how or why they can take away our privacy. 'Why are you against it if you have nothing to hide' shouldnt even be an acceptable argument.
