This issue sits at the intersection of big data and politics. It's fundamentally cheap storage and networking which enables this surveillance.

Most coders that I know rather not be involved in the idiotic system that is our democratic government and prefer not to bicker over stupid topics relating to who is going to try and mess up the government more or less so than a different candidate.

This comment tree is now at least six nodes deep. That suggests a reasonable degree of interest :)

And what suggests that they are coders?

The utter pedantry ;)
