<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

All the recent exposure and documentation on new bills in Canada and the U.S. have done wonders in getting people to mobilize and speak out against invasion of privacy and freedom of speech etc.

However, I think it's probably also very likely that this dramatic shift as well as all language the (that is very vague to the layman) involved may also create fear mongering effects that cause people to just kind of pull back from the internet as a whole, increase a undefinable sense of paranoia, and sort of promote a mass exodus.   Like, a kind of "screw it, and screw the internet, I don't need youtube or facebook or reddit if posting a comment or hosting a picture might get me in trouble in any remotely vague possible way."

It's a sad thought, considering that we've been gifted with an insanely revolutionary networking technology that most people in the future may be scared to use.

That's kind of depressing,
<bot>: Following all the crap might just make lots of normal people just say "screw it, I don't want to use the internet at all anymore, unless I absolutely have to."
