I may be sort of "socialist" myself (I do agree with some socialism ideas but I'd never consider myself a full one), but this is just too much.
We should have a certain level of privacy, but DRM/always online on the Xbox/the NSA leaks is over the line in my opinion. If what the government says is true, that the call records only show minimal info, I'm fine with that. BUT, if they are lying, I'm NOT OK with that. To be honest, it's also ridiculous what they're doing with piracy also. Remember when Comcast blocked BitTorrent traffic for a while? I agree, that all info on the net should be open as long as it doesn't violate the law, but Comcast was just stereotyping that torrents are only of illegal content, which is not true, though a majority of it is. Governments and companies need to realize they do NOT need to know all about us. There's my two cents.
And for my political sides, I'm mostly Democrat with a small bit of socialism. I used to consider myself conservative, but with all the negativity in that part, along with it not fitting into my attitude, as I am very liberal with many things, I changed over. As for the socialism, it's mostly like they have in Europe but with a lot more freedoms.
