It's hard to not be fearful when things have changed so much, we are being listened to, tracked and monitored. I remember as a kid in the Cold War hearing how it was in Russia, how someone was listening to everything you say, and here we are, 60 years later, in that same place. It is hard to know what to say, what to do to try to keep freedom of speech alive. It feels that recent events have had a very chilling effect on our rights to speak publicly and express our opinions.
