TBH I think like 99% of those reps just have no clue how tech works. Or what the impacts woulkd be of the laws they want to pass.
Of those 99%, many are actively hostile to privacy. But some are not hostile, just clueless. Which amounts to the same result in the end. Except maybe we have a chance to sway them.
Then they should step down and let people that know wtf is going on take charge, just because these old assholes can't let go of their "power" doesn't mean they have to right see every moment of our lives and also do you think they will allow themselves to be monitored? yeah most likely not, "sensitive secrets" and all that bullshit.
