The following question was presented:
There appears to be an awful lot of spying going on right now. First we had the NSA stuff and now Google doing its thing from the street view cameras. It makes me wonder whether the influx of votes the week before last was due to spies looking at my website. Clearly finding it not that interesting as they didn't come back last week. Do you worry about being spied on?

Analysis:
A huge cascading decrease in voters. I guess nobody really cares about whether or not they're being spied on. Or nobody really understands the implications. That is nobody except the two of us that voted. There does appear to be a big cause for concern that even if you have nothing to hide, said spies will either misinterpret the data or they will lose it and it could contain personal data etc. It does seem odd that there would be spying on irrelevant people. Seems as much a waste of tax payers money as anything else. Also, just seems wrong.
