    If I may make a suggestion, I would approach future discussions by pointing to this case as a good thing for privacy, since it shows we don’t need to implement draconian measures like the Liberal proposal in order to prosecute crimes. Your negative framing here is what threw others off track.

      I still maintain that this article is meaningless rage-bait designed to garner support for new laws.
