State surveillance started out just against limited target groups, but grew in profitability and scope until it was ubiquitous.
State censorship will follow the same path.
Eventually, even those cheering it on will find they are being directly targeted.

Just heard from Julian. It's freezing in his cell. The hot water pipe system in Belmarsh prison broke. He says it's "getting really, really cold".
We're at a critical juncture. We need to get him out of prison, now.
US must drop this case, now.
Dear all, I am looking to compile a list of Sinhala and English books by Sri Lankan authors available in Tamil translation. Please let me know what you know.

Lasantha couldn't write to save his life. He could only risk it & write truth to power. Week after week he chose to put his life on the line, to publish & be dammed, to turn down easy ways out. He was unbowed & unafraid, right to the very brutal end. 12 years today🕯 #NeverForget
Finding one of the first images that I ever drew on #GIMP after starting to use Linux 10 years made me realize how #FreeSoftware fosters a mindset of learning.

Lasantha was gunned down 12yrs ago. Here's his last editorial when he predicted his own death- https://web.archive.org/web/20121016035116/http://www.thesundayleader.lk/20090111/editorial-.htm
"For truth be told, we both know who will be behind my death, but dare not call his name. Not just my life, but yours too, depends on it"
