Last time I was translating Final Fantasy 7 dialogues into easy Japanese using Google Translate. At some point it occured to me that using Google Translate to translate 'bombing mission' was very dumb. I made sure to add 'Final Fantasy 7' and 'Mako reactor' to my translations...


This is an example of the chilling effects if when think you are watched.

Of course it is not stupid to search for 'bombing mission' as there are thousands of benign contexts to do so. It is a crime to put people under suspicion like that.

It is wrong that you need to justify yourself before authorities. It is the other way around actually. In democracies at least.
